INDIA: Republic, Proof Set, 1950, KM-PS1, RB-1, seven coins: 1 pice, ½ anna, anna, 2 annas, ¼ rupee, ½ rupee, and rupee, in original brown cardboard case, RR. In 1950, according to Rajgor, Sharma and Agarwal, the Bombay mint issued both a proof set and an uncirculated set, housed in identical brown cardboard cases marked only REPUBLIC OF INDIA 1950, both with the diamond mint mark for Bombay. The coins are similar in appearance, often difficult to distinguish, except that the two annas coin of the proof set has extra star in each of the 4 corners of the obverse. Starting in 1969, proof coins can be readily distinguished, as the mint mark is the letter B for proofs, the diamond for uncirculated pieces.

Estimate: 900-1,100 USD
