PS: Moderator Notes:
Changed this topic to reflect the discussion on Re-Strikes of Syama Prasad Mookerjee & Tukaram  & Shastri.
The discussion on new books are already a seperate thread for Swami Vivekananda and 60 years of Alipore Mint

kansal ji,

why are prices so high?     

[Abhay]

kansal ji,

why are prices so high?     

Can it be said that Kolkata Mint has also joined the Gang of Coin dealers?

And why not, why should not they also take the benefit of prevailing high prices for Tukaram and Mookerjee sets?

So guys, now it is time to start depreciate the value of your old Proof and UNC sets.

Hopefully the investing hoarding type buyerswill have a good kick in the ass and exit this space !
The original costs were about 1000-1200 Rupees

Definitely, for the Mookerjee, Tukaram and Shastri, they will be restrikes.
Most probably, packing will remain the same, but there can be some colour difference due to ink variation. It may have the Word RESTRIKE written on the packing, as was done earlier.

Ramesh Ji,

1. These coins may not be re-strike in true sense. It will be better to call them re-minted or re-made or re-issued
2. Packing could resemble the original but one can easily identify the will be able to identify the Restrikes.
