He offered me 3 lakh US dollars for bunch of coins. which is 2crore 20 lakhs approx in our country. I also want to clarify you that Iam not a regular seller of this coins I just had bunch of coins at my home, even I too dont know where they are from. I just want to know answers for this questions .
