Selling coins in Mangaluru
Mangaluru is the major port on the state’s coast and an unusually well-educated city for its size, with a concentration of professional colleges and a banking history — several of the country’s banks were founded here. Cashew processing, tile making and the port underpin the rest of the economy.
Students arrive for professional courses and leave four or five years later, clearing whole rooms when they go, and a large share of families have members working abroad who send goods back or clear houses when they relocate.
The city runs along the coast and the older centre is dense, so agree a known landmark rather than an address. Monsoon here is genuinely heavy for months, so agree what happens if it is raining hard on the day.
Ask where the item spent the monsoon. Months of heavy rain and constant humidity here are hard on electronics, upholstery and anything wooden, and mould damage is not worth any discount.
Handing it over in Mangaluru

What coins are worth
What lifts the price
- Professionally graded and slabbed coins
- Precious metal content on bullion issues
What pulls it down
- Cleaning, which permanently damages surfaces and value
- Wear that drops the coin into a lower grade
Working out what yours is worth
- Weigh it if precious metal content is relevant
- Compare against sold results for the same date and grade
Getting it ready
- Leave every coin exactly as it is. Do not polish, dip, scrub or even rub with a cloth.
- Handle by the edges only, and photograph before sorting so you have a record of what you had.
Photograph
- Obverse and reverse of each significant coin, filling the frame, in even light
- The date and any mint mark, close enough to read
Put in the description
- Denomination, country, year and mint mark
- Metal and weight, and fineness for bullion
Denomination, year, country and grade: “1933 George V Penny, Fine” or “Silver Britannia 1oz 2015, Capsule”. Collectors search year and type. For bullion, weight and fineness are the search. Do not invent a grade — describe honestly or say ungraded.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
