I bought some old South African coins a while ago, but I could not resist this 1983 set when I saw them on eBay (only $12).
These were the ones I grew up with, were my pocket money, and I will never forget the images on them. In my first year in school a boy called Leon gave me a 20c coin out of the blue as a gift (to ‘buy’ my friendship?). My mom was shocked, of course, that I had accepted it, and I had to promptly return the coin to Leon. No can do, I had to tell him.

I have these old 2c and 1c where can I sell them?
I cannot give you any advice for coin dealers (I don’t know any).
Online, the best place (with the most potential buyers) is probably eBay.com.
You should search on eBay for coins similar to yours (same year or year close to yours, similar condition), to see what a reasonable price to ask for your coins, would be.
To sell on eBay you would have to take nice pictures of your coins, and indicate what grade they are.
I don’t know much about how coins are graded, unfortunately (what condition they are in).
You would have to look that up online.
