Help with some India gold coins?

First, thanks for everyone who helps us lost souls..short story, a guy I knows mom is going into a nursing home and money is tight. Grandparents spent a lot of time in India. He showed me these coins and was going to bring them to a pawn shop. I said I would find a better way to sell them. Nazim of Hyderabad gold.. any help in better ID and where the best place to sell them would be wonderful. Thanks in advance, Brian

    In view of the sad nature of the story, I will post from the SCWC. Apologies to the copyright holder.

    It appears that you have one of each denomination, which equals 0.04 plus 0.08 plus 0.16 plus 0.32 or a total of 0.6 Troy ounces of actual gold weight equals 0.6 multiplied by $1,460 or a total dollar number of $876. Those coins in the Imgur photo look to be very nice condition, but I don't know anything about how to realize the higher prices below:

    I feel that these would be much easier to sell the closer you are to NYC or better yet, London.

    Best wishes in your quest to get the money for your friend's Mother!

    Given the condition of the coins, ie how nice they look, and noticing in the catalogue that the prices are much higher than spot I would recommend having them graded by a third party grader ie PCGS. Just selling them for spot would be a disappointment price wise.

    Photo from IMGUR (which is a great site to surf, BTW).

  • Hi @Brian I'd be interested in the coins if they are available. Please feel free to DM me or visit maunishshah.com to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
