The coin look fantastic!!! It's probably the best specimen I have seen so far!!!
My goal for 2017 is to finish finish my British India copper collection (1/4 anna, 1/2 Pice and 1/12 anna) by year and Mintmark. Any help with missing coins in BU grades is highly appreciated.

You mean they still have "shop keepers" in the US??  I thought they all had been franchised/out sourced/out-of-business/on-lined/e-commerce'ed!!  ;D

How do you store your copper coins, this coin looks very well preserved. When I use to live in Singapore , none of my copper coins did well due to the high humidity. It was then that I decided to stop collecting any copper coins. As I use to buy Unc Red coppers only to find that 3-6 months later a spotting or color change in the coins. However, now that I live in the US a few copper coins that I purchased 10years ago are still very well preserved with no extra or special care, I store them in the 2x2 coin holders. Have you had good experience preserving copper coins in India?  (I am assuming that you reside in India.)
