1936 George V Quarter Anna Pair – Bombay & Calcutta (Ghost Error) Mints | NGS Certified

An exceptional pair of 1936 Bronze Quarter Anna coins of George V, representing both major mint varieties of the year and offering a fascinating study in British Indian numismatics. The first coin was struck at the Bombay Mint (Dot Mint Mark) and is catalogued as GK 1196 / Pridmore 683, while the second was struck at the Calcutta Mint (No Dot) and is catalogued as GK 1197 / Pridmore 676. Particularly noteworthy is the Calcutta specimen, which exhibits the intriguing "Ghost" effect on both obverse and reverse, a striking die-related characteristic specifically noted on the NGS slab, adding considerable interest for variety specialists and advanced collectors.

Both coins have been professionally authenticated and graded by NGS, with the Bombay Mint example graded MS 60+ BN Prime and the Calcutta Mint "Ghost" variety graded an impressive MS 62 BN Superb. Featuring sharp details, attractive original surfaces, and excellent preservation, this two-coin set provides a unique opportunity to acquire both principal mint varieties of the 1936 Quarter Anna alongside a remarkable minting anomaly. A scarce and highly collectible pair, it is an outstanding addition to collections of British India coinage, George V issues, mint-mark varieties, and error or die-variety coins.
