This specimen was lot 2417 in Stephen Album sale 27 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2017), where it sold for $9,693.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "BRITISH INDIA: Victoria, Empress, 1876-1901, AR ¼ rupee, 1880-C. Rare date, NGC graded MS63, R." This type was issued at Calcutta and Bombay 1877-1901 in a bewildering array of varieties, including proofs, off-metal strikes and restrikes. The type is the second smallest silver denomination. It is distinguished from the type issued 1862-76 by the obverse legend, "VICTORIA EMPRESS" instead of "VICTORIA QUEEN." The SCWC does not award this date any premium but this specimen realized 387 times the catalog value!
