    Hi there,


    Hope it's okay to ask a question like this here? If not please remove.



    I was left a Krugerand (1977) by a relative recently and I was wondering what would be the best way to sell such a thing?


    Would ebay be safe option? I've used it a lot but not for anything of that value.



    Any advice would be greatly appreciated?:)


    Thanks,


    Rob.

    eBay is quite safe for selling high value coins but you would want to have decided on a secure means of delivery. That said, there doesn't appear to be any krugerrands for auction on the site just BIN which could indicate something.

    You could do worse than contacting an auctioneer such as Whyte's of Molesworth Street or John Weldon of Temple Bar. https://collectireland.com/auctions-2/

    Thanks for the link! I'll check it out.


    So, if I did go the ebay route would someone like DHL/UPS be okay, do you think?


    Thanks!

    Probably best to use a courier alright. I have used An Post registered mail before with heavily disguised packages and never had a problem.

    Cool thanks....



    If you don't mind me asking, what did you mark down on the package for an post? You know when they ask you for the contents of the package?


    Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
