Questions people in Chennai ask
What old coins are found in Chennai?
the Madras Mint at Fort St George has been striking coins since 1640. Every coin says which mint made it, and the Chennai mark is the Madras mint name; it stopped striking in 1869, so its coins are all pre-Republic. Look at the space just under the date on any coin in your pocket. Coins struck here sold for a median of ₹1,230, across 11 completed sales at 2 independent shops.
Are old coins worth more in Chennai?
No. The coin market is national — buyers bid from across India and the courier does the travelling, so where you live changes the postage and nothing else. Being in Chennai makes it likelier that you HAVE a particular coin, not that you get more for it.
Where can I sell old coins in Chennai?
Here, or anywhere in India. You list the coin, buyers across the country see it, and it goes by courier. Selling costs no commission, and you never pay a fee to sell — not registration, not customs clearance, not GST, not a refundable deposit. Money comes to you, never from you. Anyone asking you to send money first is running a fraud.
Selling from Chennai?
List from Chennai in minutes and keep the whole sale price. Buyers bid from across India; the courier does the travelling.
