I have the Cross vareity (unity in Diversity), Information Technology and the Homi Bhabha 10 Rs Bimetalic coin, circulation issues. I also have the UNC Gur ti Gaddi Rs 10 Bimetalic from both HYD as well as Mumbai mint. The Mumbai mint coins are definately better than the Hyderabad Coin and the lowest is the Noida issues.

Amit,
Is the Homi Bhabha commemorative bimetallic 10 Rupees in circulation?

I thought that all those commemorative bimetallic 10 Rupees were being issued only as medal-coins & as part of a set.

This coin(Homi Bhabha Bimetallic- Read details at http://coinsindia.info) will also released for circulation. Although this coin will be rare due to limited number.

That is one coin I would definitely want to add into my collection.

The coin is officially meant to circulate. However as Shariq said, I have doubt if the coin would be available in circulation any time soon. May be a fortunate few could get some from circulation but generally it will dissappear into collectors and hoarders pockets only to be sold at a premium.

Does you want to sell any from these coins, or you have some spares.

Dear Kamaldeep Singh, I do have more than one of each but am not out to sell now. Will wait a few years when I can get a good deal.

Thanks to Silberman George,I have now got the Homi Bhabha commemorative 10 Rupees with the Dot mintmark.

The centre of this coin is actually steel unlike that of the 'Cross' & the other non-commemorative bimetallic 10 Rupees,which both have a cupro-nickel centre.
