1862 Mohur PCGS MS62
I have to admit: India’s colonial gold coins make up one of the most beautiful series of coins in the world. The mohurs, in particular, are mesmerizing. (There is something about large gold coins that is irresistible.) The mohur photographed above is no exception. Clean fields, full lustre, and a good strike, this example is one of the nicest crowned Victoria mohurs I’ve had in stock in recent times. It is also the second finest graded by PCGS (12/14), although PCGS hasn’t graded too many of them at this stage. Scarce, with a mintage, according to Krause, of only 153,000 pieces, which is low for coin from a country with a population of over a billion people. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
