British India. Victoria gold Mohur 1841.-(c) MS64 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM462.2 (incorrectly listed on the holder), S&W-3.11. Split legend variety, W.W. on truncation, 4 with serif (crosslet 4). The single highest graded example of this type by NGC or PCGS: a marvelous coin, the issue almost always exhibiting some form of circulation or improper handling. This selection has needle-point detail to the devices with no subsequent wear, the planchet fully aglow with satin luster, the tiniest abrasions in the field defining the grade yet otherwise offering no aspects to upgrade upon. The best of the type we have had the pleasure to handle and a must-have for serious collectors of British India emissions.
