Hi,

Can someone please help me to identify these 3 Indian coins and also help me with grading?

I paid $5 each, was this a good or a bad deal?

Coin 1


Coin 2


Coin 3


Thank you

All 3 are Falus coins from Malwa Sultanate.

Coin 1 is of Ghiyas Shah, AH 903

Coin 2 is of Mahmud Shah II, AH 917

Coin 3, Date is not showing but looks like that of same Mahmud Shah II

The date is not AH903 but AH953.

It is indeed 903. Please note that this is sort of peculiar that 0 was written as "o" rather than a dot. Here's another example from chiefacoins.com.
