    Brad,

    Back when I sold off a big chunk of my collection about 1½ years ago, I had an Indian brockage, but it was a Geo V rupee, but the same style as yours, with the obverse and the negative obverse instead of reverse. I eBay'ed it for about $45. Had several bids on it, so there must be some interest in them.

    Thanks!
    Not sure but I may go ahead and get it and then try to Ebay it.

    I got the Indian 1/2 anna yesterday. It is of the 1862-76 type (KM-468) and is ~30.5 mm in diameter.
    The brockage side appears to be slightly rotated.
    The edge of the piece is intriguing as it appears almost like two planchets stuck together although the width is no more than a regular piece.
    The thin part of the edge is the side with the brockage.
    Is it possible instead of a regular brockage that it could be a die cap error where the planchet sticks to the die and then stamps another planchet?
    Or is the edge just pressure deformation?
    If anyone has an opinion I'd appreciate it.
