Help with a Wold Coin

PennyCollector

Okay so I'm a USA coin guy but i found this coin at a coin store for $1.50 and thought I'd buy it.

It turns out it a PCGS (1795-50) Fanam KM-10 in AU-50 pop 1/0 PCGS coin number 403061

Howevr i can't find anything out about this coin. Does any one know what this coin is or if its worth anything?

It's probably Indian State. Have an image?

I don't have a pic but it just looks like a series of dot on a gold looking coin like braille

According to NGC price guide (Krause), INDIA-PRINCELY STATES COCHIN Fanam KM# 10 is $25 in XF40, no prices for higher grades.

Does it look like this?

The first time I bought some of these, I got 'em in the $16-18 range, as I recall. That would have been the early- to mid-1990s. Then I was lucky enough to purchase a small lot of them for only $6-7 each in the early 2000s. I sold some on BST. Forget the price, but it was probalby $12-15. They're probably worth a little more now.

I'd be a buyer (and save you the eBay hassle), if the price was right.

Regardless, for a buck and a half, you can't lose, right?

(FWIW, I personally believe that eBay seller that TwoKopeiki linked up is dreaming big dreams and having wild fantasies.)
