I was wondering if anyone knew anything about an undocumented mule of the 1833 1/4 anna? I have attached a picture of the coin I have. It seems like a KM 322 but if you look at the bulged adil and date, it is very unlike the KM 322 that is pictured below. Seems to have been stuck with rusted dies. I feel that it may have been stuck with rusted dies because of the broken "Quarter Anna" letters on the reverse.

Below is a known KM #322 from the Baldwin's http://www.mcsearch.info/record.html?id=99670 auction.


Below are pictures of the possible undocumented mule.
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.

Based on information present in the below link this coin appears to be the 1 MM reverse III variety and Obverse B variety(Normal Design, Normal Rim and normal shield size)

And the two known die types are documented in the below link (Bulged adil and the flat adil types)
