Gold Coins & Bars
Bank-issued, temple and foreign gold coins, plus investment bars, all purchased at the best premium with zero deductions.
Get the Best Premium on Coins & Bars
Investment gold, coins bought from banks or jewellers, temple-issued coins, foreign coins, and gold bars, is priced differently from jewellery, and often carries a purity premium. We evaluate each piece on its certified purity and current market rate, so you get full value for what you hold.

Coins & Bars vs. Jewellery: Why Rates Differ
Investment coins and bars are usually higher purity (24K/999) than everyday jewellery (typically 22K or 18K), so their per-gram value tends to be higher. Unlike jewellery, coins and bars carry no design or craftsmanship premium, the price is based purely on verified gold content and the day's market rate, making the calculation especially straightforward.
What We Don't Purchase
We buy physical gold only, coins, bars, and jewellery. We do not purchase Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs), gold ETFs, or digital gold, since these are financial instruments redeemed through the issuing bank, broker, or platform rather than physical items we can test.
Selling Coins Without the Original Certificate or Packaging
Investment coins and bars are often sold with a certificate of authenticity or sealed packaging, but losing these does not stop you from selling. Our XRF testing independently verifies the purity and composition of the metal itself, regardless of whether the original paperwork or packaging is still with you. The certificate can support the transaction, but it is not required, the physical testing is what actually determines your payout.
Why Purity Verification Matters More for Coins Than People Expect
Coins and bars are sometimes assumed to be "obviously genuine" because they came from a bank or a recognised brand, which can lead sellers to skip asking for a fresh test. Counterfeit and adulterated coins do circulate, particularly with foreign coins and older temple-issued pieces, so an independent XRF check protects you as the seller too, confirming that what you are selling is exactly what you believe it to be before a price is agreed, with the reading shown to you directly on screen.
Gold Coins & Bars, FAQs
Do you buy coins without original packaging or certificates?
Yes, we can still purchase coins without packaging, though having the original certificate can help confirm purity faster.
Do you accept foreign gold coins?
Yes, we accept foreign gold coins along with Indian bank-issued and temple coins, after verifying purity through XRF testing.
How is the price of gold bars determined?
Gold bar pricing is based on the certified purity (usually 24K/999 or 995) and current market rate, with the weight verified on-site.
Do gold coins get a better rate than jewellery?
Investment coins and bars are typically higher purity (often 24K/999) than jewellery, which is usually 22K or 18K, so the per-gram value can be higher. The final price still depends on verified purity and weight, not the coin's face value or brand.
Can I sell commemorative or collector gold coins?
Yes, commemorative and collector coins are purchased based on their gold content and purity, verified through XRF testing, the same as any other gold coin.
Is there a difference between 999 and 995 purity bars?
Yes, 999 purity is 99.9% pure gold while 995 is 99.5% pure. Both are common investment-grade purities, and pricing reflects the exact certified purity of your specific bar.
Do you buy sovereign gold bond certificates?
No, Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) are a financial instrument redeemed through your bank or the RBI, not physical gold we can test and purchase. We deal only in physical gold coins, bars and jewellery.
