₹100 coin

₹100

An ordinary ₹100 coin in your pocket is worth exactly that — its face value. Most are. That is not a disappointment, it is the normal answer.

Collectors did pay more — but only for particular ones. Across 8 completed sales from 2 different shops, the middle price was ₹195, ranging ₹60 to ₹449. Every one of those was listed as a collectible — typically uncirculated or otherwise special to the seller. An ordinary circulating note or coin from a pocket is not one of them. If somebody offers you a collector price for pocket money, that is the opening move of a fraud.

What the prices actually looked like

Half of all sales fell between	₹91 – ₹197
Middle price	₹195
Lowest / highest seen	₹60 – ₹449
Completed sales counted	8
Independent shops	2

Each is the shop's listed price when the item sold out — ordinarily what the buyer paid — not the asking price of something still for sale. We do not blend the two: what a seller hopes for and what an item sold out at are different numbers, and only one of them is evidence.

Questions people actually ask about this

Is a ₹100 coin really worth ₹3 lakh?

No. A ₹100 coin in ordinary circulated condition is worth ₹100 — its face value. The ₹3 lakh figure circulating on WhatsApp and YouTube is not a price anyone has paid; it is the number quoted to you shortly before somebody asks for a "registration" or "customs clearance" fee. Across 8 completed sales recorded at 2 independent coin shops, the middle price for the collectible varieties of this denomination was ₹195, and the highest single sale we have a record of was ₹449.

What is a ₹100 coin actually worth?

₹100 if it is an ordinary one from circulation, which almost all of them are. Collectors pay more only for specific varieties — a fancy or repeating serial number, a particular Governor's signature, an uncirculated bundle, or a mint error. Those sold for a middle price of ₹195, with half of all sales falling between ₹91 and ₹197.

Is selling old coins online real or fake?

Selling is real; the fraud is real too, and it has one tell. A genuine buyer pays you. A fraud asks you to pay first — a registration fee, customs clearance, GST, insurance, or a refundable deposit — and once you send it there is always one more. If money has to leave your hands before any arrives, it is a fraud, whatever the website looks like. Every price on this page is an item that sold out at an independent shop, at its listed price — not the asking price of something still for sale, and not an estimate.

Do I have to pay anything to sell a ₹100 coin?

No. You never pay to sell — not a registration fee, not customs clearance, not GST, and not a refundable deposit. Money comes to you, never from you. Anyone who asks you to send money before you receive any is attempting a fraud.

Selling one? A real buyer never asks you for money. Not a registration fee, not customs, not GST, not a refundable deposit. A buyer who asks is the fraud — here is how that conversation goes. List yours and buyers talk to you in chat that is scanned for exactly those lines.

Built from 8 sales recorded at independent coin shops — each price is the shop's listed price when the item sold out. Delisted items from our sister site coinbazzar.com are not counted. A page is shown to search engines only once at least 8 sales from 2 or more shops agree closely enough to mean something — most identities do not qualify.

Have one of these to sell?

The prices above come from items that sold out at independent shops. If you have one, put it in front of the collectors and dealers who buy these — your phone number is never shown, buyers message you on the site, and we take no commission on what you sell.
