Identification and value

Does anyone know the current cost of this coin... Thank You...

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1607.html Looks like Calcutta mint.

Actual spending value? Zilch. Apparently paisa coins were demonetized a few years ago.

Collectible value? Nearly zilch. It's a pretty worn example of a common coin with no precious metal in it. I'm not going to say that you couldn't theoretically find someone willing to give you something for it, but I wouldn't count on it.

@seltsam has got it right.

The best way to research the value of a common modern coin like this is to search for it on eBay. You can see in this case you would be hard pressed to even recover the cost of postage: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=India+10+1988&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=11116&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=43085&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&_fosrp=1

From the picture, I think you may have the “Marat” error coin. It’s heavily worn, but I think that’s a high likelihood and this coin is fairly scarce especially now that it is demonetised

And what is "Marat" exactly? Because there's no information on the coin page what this error exactly is.

​the official name of India in Hindi is “Bharat” ... in Devanagari script, the “Bh” भ and “M” म look very similar. I’m not sure how many error coins were ever issued, perhaps atleast in the tens of thousands. Back then I paid 20Rs when the 10paise was already demonetized a couple couple years before. Of course, you won’t just find these coins lying around anymore in change, and much less the error coins.

i would imagine these could now cost Rs200 or so , but in a better condition, i would imagine more

Have a nice day and a coming weekend.
Man, you know about the mistake of the coin ,,​TRAVIS BRENDON SWEENEY,,-why do you leave collectors tense what are you talking about.
And why not publish this fact at the outset?
Special approach to the community, I like Indian coins, but knowing mistakes is a slightly different level you don't think that they will know it for the most part.
it's a critic, and now the answer.

Only people with no knowledge about anything will want to know what they are looking at... serious collectors don't need a discription...they look at the coin and know what it is...and I don't have to do anything...if you don't like it move on...we are not here to do what fools want....
