How to Sell 24K Gold Coins in India

  1. Bring the coin (with or without original packaging/certificate) to any Attica Gold branch
  2. XRF testing confirms 24K purity - takes 60 seconds
  3. Coin is weighed on precision digital scale
  4. Payout = Weight (g) × ₹15,250/g (IBJA 24K rate)
  5. Payment same day - cash or bank transfer
  6. Documents: Aadhaar mandatory, PAN if sale > ₹2,00,000


Does the Original Certificate or Packaging Matter?

For the resale calculation, no - XRF testing replaces the certificate. You will receive the same per-gram IBJA rate whether or not you have the original MMTC-PAMP card or bank receipt.

However, for your own tax records (establishing cost basis for capital gains), keeping the original purchase receipt is advisable.

Which is the best gold coin to buy in India?

MMTC-PAMP coins are widely considered the most trustworthy - Swiss-certified, tamper-proof packaging, and easy to sell. India Gold Coin (RBI) is also well-recognised.

Can I sell a gold coin without the original packaging?

Yes. XRF testing confirms purity regardless of packaging. You receive the IBJA rate for the tested purity and weight.

Do I get more for a coin than for jewellery?

Yes - coins have no making charges to worry about and no stone deductions. You receive the full per-gram gold value based on purity.

Are foreign gold coins (Krugerrand, Maple Leaf) accepted?

Yes - XRF testing confirms the gold content. You are paid at the IBJA rate for the confirmed purity and weight.

What is the difference between a gold coin and a gold biscuit?

Shape only - both are 24K gold. Coins are round, biscuits/bars are rectangular. The per-gram price is the same for the same purity.

Do I pay tax when selling a gold coin?

Yes - capital gains tax applies. If held 24+ months, 12.5% LTCG on the gain. If under 24 months, added to income at your slab rate.
