How Does it Work?
There are many ways to sell with City Coins from a consignment basis to a direct purchase by us. We aim to serve you.
STEP ONE
Ensure that what you are looking to sell is something of interest for us.
STEP TWO
Get in touch and send us clear photos of your collection (ensuring that both sides are photographed) – click the button below and submit the form or send us an email. Any supporting documentation like background information or purchase information is also very useful.
STEP THREE
We can then understand what your desired result is and timing to decide which channel to recommend.
We do a lot of research before we advise you then on the best way to sell and with a pricing guide.
We can help you with selling through the best channels and partners, and you might prefer simply to sell directly to us!
Our Promise
Regardless of whether you are selling a single coin or an entire collection, we deal with you personally and you are assured that our relationship will be founded on trust, especially in an industry that is known for being opaque. This has cemented our reputation as one of the highest levels of integrity in this industry helping you to make informed decisions.

This question is asked numerous times a day.
If you are referring to old SA / foreign circulated currency, the following applies.
Provide us with a list of each of your coins via email.
The list should consist of country, year and face value (the value which appears on the face of the coin). Include two photographs (obverse and reverse) of five of your coins. If your collection contains coins of value to us, we will contact you to arrange an appointment.
Since banknotes are made of paper and not precious metal, we very much focus on the condition of the banknote. If it’s been crumbled, torn, used or stuck and is a modern note, then unfortunately it is of no interest to us. Sometimes very used old notes still have a value due to their rarity. If you’re not sure, then get in touch.
Yes we can. Based on a list of your medals and the accompanying documentation (referred to as provenance) we can determine whether these are suitable for our upcoming medal auction or perhaps are more suitably sold on auction with our UK partner, Noonans.
We are often listed in wills to look at estates due to our involvement in building up the collections in the first place. This has established a foundation of trust and we are then most familiar with the items in the collection. However, even if we do not know the collection we can give the required valuation at the time of death.
No we do not, but we do work with esteemed partners in the industry who we recommend. We do on occasion take in jewellery and watches but on a case-by-case basis.
The gold price fluctuates constantly. We fix our buying in and selling prices by 9:30am Monday to Friday.
Request, via email, our selling price. We will provide you, via email, with the price and our banking details. Should you accept our price, proof of payment must be emailed to us by close of business the same day. Once your payment is reflected in our account, we will contact you to arrange an appointment to collect your Krugerrands. You will be required to produce your SA ID / driver’s licence or International passport on collection.
An appointment will need to be arranged. You will need to bring along the Krugerrands, your SA ID / driver’s licence or foreign passport as well as your banking details. We will process an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and provide you with proof thereof, before leaving. Should you require an immediate transfer, let us know before the payment is processed.
There is NO VAT on Gold Krugerrands. According to SARS “gold coins issued by the South African Reserve Bank in accordance with section 14 of the South African Reserve Bank Act 90 of 1989 (or that remain in circulation per provision (1) of that section) will not be regarded as second-hand goods. These coins include Kruger Rands and gold coins in the National Geographic, Natura, Protea and R1 series as well as any other gold coins declared by the Ministry of Finance to be legal tender”
There is VAT on silver Krugerrands. However, silver is still a worthwhile investment, especially where smaller investment amounts are available.
There is no difference in value as the value is determined by the content of the gold. Sometimes, if the coin is in an excellent condition in a box, it makes a nice gift and especially if the date is a birth date.
