Hi Shane,

I have a contact in USA (a member of the Knights of the Coin Table).  Loggin and ask him (SirStacksALot) and I am sure he will help.

If all else fails, Australia Post offer a reshipping service from US

https://shopmate.auspost.com.au/

I have never used it, and not sure what happens with high valued item (if yours is an expensive coin).

Shopmate looks expensive to me.    Many times coins I purchase in USA have very high postage to OZ so I have it sent to a contact in USA who send it to me for a lot less.

The solution is quite simple really, Just shop around until you find a seller that does ship to Aus and doesn't charge unreasonable shipping costs.
For every coin you are looking for there is usually a seller that will ship to Aus and not rip you off on the postage, All you have to do is look a bit harder :ok:

Of course - they need to make a profit!

Hence I said "If all else fails".
