† Coins of India. British India. Silver ½-Rupee, 1835C , obv WILLIAM IIII KING , R.S on truncation (SW 1.51; KM 449).Brilliant uncirculated, with a bright finish. This coin is quite bright as a result of being heavily dipped by Jim Haxby when he was studying this series. His findings are not yet in print but it is being worked on. Unfortunately, he cleaned all his coins so that the variations would be easier to see, during a time when it was not important to collectors as to whether a coin had original surfaces or not.This is what we have to live with today. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £200-300
