Struggling to Sell NASDAQ Shares
Options

Hi all!
I am new to forum, and having tried to find the information I am looking for on both the forum and the internet - I am completely bamboozled.
When I was much younger, I was gifted fifty shares in a company called Coherent on the NASDAQ exchange. In the last five years they have raised from ~ $40 a share to ~$108 each
I have the paper share certificates, but am struggling to find a way in which to sell them in the UK. I have family based in the US, but due to "Insider Trading" restrictions it does not seem practical for these to be transferred.
Could anybody please recommend a UK account which will allow me to trade and sell my shares? It would go a long way towards securing a deposit on my first home.
Thank you!

TD Direct Invest might; give them a call. You'd have to see if they'd accept paper certificates for NASDAQ though.0
