† Coins of India. East India Company. Bombay Presidency, Pice, 1674 (Pr 81; KM 131). About very fine, only a small part of the obverse legend illegible. Anyone who has attempted to collect these coins by Pridmore numbers will certainly have found it difficult due to the lack of presentable pieces available that allow us to identify the details that Pridmore has suggested should be there.If you do collect this series you will have to make up your own mind about some of the identifications.In all my years I have seen only one fully struck and round example of one of these Pice.I battled to secure it at the Baldwin’s Auction of the Wiggins collection (2001) as the price rose from £800 to £3200; I eventually lost out to another bidder and I was sorry that I did not bid more on behalf of David Fore. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £400-600
