E.T. Puppet Could Fetch $900,000 at Auction; Rare British-Era Coin Could Sell for $8,400

A screen-used E.T. puppet from the iconic 1982 film is set to go under the hammer at Sotheby's, with an estimated value between $600,000 and $900,000. Created by Carlo Rambaldi, one of only three original puppets, this piece of cinematic history is expected to draw significant interest from collectors. Meanwhile, in a separate market, a rare 1935 British-era one rupee coin is generating buzz for its potential value. Collectors are reportedly willing to pay up to ₹7 lakh (approximately $8,400) for the coin, especially if it's in good condition. The coin's value stems from the fact that the Indian government stopped printing them about 29 years ago, before briefly reintroducing them in 2015. Online platforms like Coin Bazaar are facilitating these sales, offering a chance for individuals to cash in on their vintage currency collections.
