Want List for Lanka Coin Collection as of 2000-May-29
 
 19th Century British Colonial coins including British India
 
Looking for light toned VG (dump) to VF (coin) (U.S. grade) suitable for scanning  
for a website. I probably can't afford the higher grades for the more expensive coins

                         Notes

The Islamic years (Al Hijra) are counted from 622 July 20 (Gregorian)
i.e. The lunar month or Synodic period of the Moon is 29.53059 days
The 30 years cycle of 12 lunar months is 10631 days or 354.367 days per year
or longer by about 3 years per century. Note zero at unity: 622.55AD = 1 AH
           AD =  622.55 + 0.970227*(AH-1)
           AH =  1.0 + (AD-622.55)*1.03069

 1500 AD =  905 AH; 1600 AD = 1008 AH; 1700 AD = 1112 AH;
 1800 AD = 1215 AH; 1900 AD = 1318 AH; 2000 AD = 1421 AH

A reasonable subset of these Types of Islamic Indian coins are the 10
Full rupees (have 6+*) and one each of the fractionals distributed among
the mints and mill types of which I now have a reasonable representation.

Looking for light toned VF/VF+ (U.S. grade)suitable for scaning for a website.
Many of these coins have "shroff marks" resulting from tests of purity of coin.
A few minor marks" are OK, but too many or prominent marked coins are not OK.
