Who we are

We are collectors first — a house that treats every coin that crosses our block the way we would want our own cabinets treated: with scholarship, candour and patience.

The House

Every lot carries a researched chain of custody. Old auction tickets, cabinet labels and collection histories are photographed, catalogued and passed on — because a coin's story is half its value.

Our cataloguers weigh, measure and attribute each piece against standard references — Mitchiner, Krause, Stevens, Rajgor. Grading is conservative; surprises at the block should be pleasant ones. From consignment to hammer to your cabinet, every step is insured, logged and guaranteed by the house.

Voices from the room

"The cataloguing is the best in the Indian market. Their attributions have taught me as much as any reference book on my shelf."

R. Mehta — Collector, Ahmedabad

"I consigned my father's cabinet of 400 coins. Every lot photographed, every query answered, and the settlement arrived ahead of schedule."

S. Iyer — Consignor, Chennai

"Extended-time bidding changed everything. No more losing a mohur in the last two seconds to a sniping script."

D. Kapoor — Bidder, New Delhi
Before you bid

Questions, answered

Every lot closes at its own scheduled time. If a bid arrives in the closing moments, that lot's clock automatically extends by its set interval — 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the lot — giving every bidder a fair final chance. The lot hammers only when the clock runs out uninterrupted.

A flat 12.5% premium plus applicable GST is added to the hammer price. There are no hidden listing, photography or handling charges for bidders.

Yes. High-resolution obverse, reverse and edge photography is published for every lot, and physical viewing is available at our Mumbai office by appointment during the viewing window announced with each sale.

Write to us with photographs or visit for a free valuation. On acceptance, coins are insured from the moment of intake, catalogued by our numismatists, and offered in the next suitable sale. Settlement follows within 21 days of the hammer.

We dispatch worldwide with full insurance and tracking, subject to the export regulations governing antiquities. Our team handles all paperwork and advises on any lot-specific restrictions before you bid.
