British India. George VI Rupee 1939-(b) AU58 NGC, Bombay mint, KM555. Reeded edge. Practically completely untoned and fiercely lustrous, the current offering is achingly close to Mint State and precluded from higher designations by minute handling marks surrounding the King's bust. Overall a pleasing selection and a seldom-seen chance to acquire this major 20th century rarity, as our last straight-graded offering was an NGC MS62 that resulted $11,700 in our January 2018 New York auction, followed by one NGC AU Details piece in August 2022 that sold for $9,000 all in.
