1943 Indian 1/4 Rupee!


This U.S. Cent-sized, .500 (50%) silver coin is a quarter? Yes, it is. Four of these would have made an Indian Rupee and now it takes quite a few Indian Rupees to make one of these. The silver value alone is $54.02 Rupees ($0.90). I got it for $0.25 which was, at the time, a much better deal. Now that silver has dropped it doesn't seem like much profit. Except for the fact that it's worth $8.00! Numismatic value dominates silver in this case and the coin is actually a great bargain. I'm glad I noticed it and picked it up when I did or else someone else could be blogging about a great find.
