East India Company - 1835

[TimC]

I'm new to this site. I'm TerryC's brother. I've been digging dirt a long time though. This coin I found in the bag of coins my son gave me a couple years ago. He was on the USS Hayler in the early 90's. Every time the ship docked at a new port he collected a coin or two. I have dozens of other coins in the bag. I'll put the glass to 'em.

The Indians are crazy for old Indian coins.. I just sold some recently I picked up there, years ago..Check eBay. The coin is in excellent condition, btw.

Terry, I should also tell you they also traded in Africa and India and other places. They were started in Dec of 1600. They also traded in tea and opium. They had a joint co. called the Dutch East India Trading Co. It was the Dutch who traded mostly in dishes. My grandmother had a set of dishes from the 1700'' from them.

Here's a site that shows a seller is asking about $3.55 for the coin (if my conversion from Indian rupees is correct). The site also gives a detailed history of the East Indian Company.

Funny thing is, if I recall correctly, the East India Company was the name of a company used in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean
