wabnoles Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Here's a good resource... it'll tell you the general value, the rarity and the metal content in each coin (scroll down to "India-British"): http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/World-Coin-Price-Guide.aspx Generally British Indian rupee coins before WWI I believe are over 90% silver. There's roughly $11 melt value in silver with each coin alone... obviously the numismatic value is higher depending on the condition, scarcity, etc. I would closer attention to the mint marks... the 1862 Rupee could be worth $30 or $400 depending on the mint marks.
