Highlights
The video starts with a warning against scammers who ask for charges, bank fees, or registration fees to sell coins. It emphasizes that genuine coin selling does not involve upfront payments and that there are no original old coin companies worldwide. Any such request is a scam.
The speaker, Raj Gyani, explains the nuances of identifying mint marks and distinguishing between a missing mint mark and one that has simply worn off. He stresses the value of having coins professionally appraised to accurately determine their worth, as a coin's condition and mint mark can drastically affect its price.
The video showcases various coins, including Jawaharlal Nehru coins, and clarifies which ones are made of silver, nickel, or copper-nickel. It highlights a 1989 тВ╣1 coin from the Noida mint, noting its value, and distinguishes it from a 1991 coin, which can be worth much more. The discussion also covers identifying mint marks, such as the diamond shape for the Bombay mint.
The speaker mentions that a 1970 10-gram nickel coin, which was valued at тВ╣5,000-тВ╣7,000 a year ago, now costs тВ╣25,000-тВ╣30,000 in UNC condition. This illustrates the rapid appreciation of certain rare coins. He then reveals two specific coins whose values are expected to increase significantly in the future.
The first highly anticipated coin is the 1938 George VI King Emperor тВ╣1 coin. Made of silver, weighing 11.66 grams, and with a circular shape, this coin comes in two varieties: with a dot mark (Bombay mint) and without. Both are considered 'scarce' and their prices are rising rapidly; a UNC condition coin can now fetch over тВ╣20,000, and is hard to find even at that price.
The second coin expected to increase significantly in value is the 1982 Republic India тВ╣1 coin from the Bombay mint, weighing 6 grams. There were both 6-gram and 8-gram varieties, with the 6-gram version being rare. In UNC condition, this coin could be worth тВ╣100,000 or more, with even 'very fine' condition coins fetching тВ╣15,000-тВ╣20,000.
The discussion returns to the 1970 coin, noting that its value has soared from тВ╣3,000 to тВ╣30,000 in just three years, a tenfold increase. This further emphasizes how quickly certain rare coins can appreciate.
The speaker continues his meeting with Sangita Kumari, who brought a collection of coins and notes. He provides advice on proper storage (using thread instead of rubber bands for notes) and evaluates a note packet, explaining that a specific serial number (01) would greatly increase its value. The video concludes with Sangita expressing her satisfaction with the transaction, having sold her coins and notes.
