WE BELIEVE THESE SELLING PRICES TO BE FAIR ------------------------------------- A GREAT OPPORTUNITY ------------------------------------- Details: An extract from Chapter 12 titled "Rare coins in the series and their values" of Francois Malan's book - History of the Nickel Coins of South Africa In the 1970's and 1980's, schoolboys collecting circulation coins (those not fortunate enough to have had a family member involved in numismatics or knew of the existence of a coin dealer!) were at a loss to explain why they could not find the 1965 1c and 50c coins or the 1969 20c and 50c coins in change handed to them at the local store. The 1970 and 1973 20c coins were probably missing from their collections as well. The author was one of these boys, and little did he know that the gaps in his collection included some of the rarest coins of all South African coins ever minted. Three particularly low mintages can be found among the numbers listed in Chapter 11. These coins are the 1965 50c (English) (mintage of approximately 50), The 1965 R1 (Afrikaans) (mintage of 120) and the 1965 1c (Afrikaans) (mintage of 1031). They are keenly sought by collectors as a complete collection of the series can only be assembled if these rarities can be sourced. The 1965 50c (English) appears to be the most difficult to find. As a result, these coins have significantly increased in value over the years. They never the less still seem to be undervalued by collectors and the prices seem to be low if the mintage figures are compared to other rare South African coins. Sam Lieberman compiled a list of rarities, excluding the patterns, for Journal No. 2 of the Association of South African Numismatic Societies. The 1965 50c (English) featured as No. 9 on the list (even though he gave it a mintage figure of 80), the 1965 R1 (Afrikaans) was No. 10 and the 1965 1c (Afrikaans) was No. 32. In comparison, the famous 1931 tickey is No. 11 on the list (mintage of 128). A significant increase in prices may therefore occur in the future if the true rarity of these nickel coins is realised and the number of collectors of the series increases. In comparison to modern trends, there appears to have been significant interest in these coins in the late 1960's. Bickel's had a public auction on 4 November 1966 at the Criterion Hotel in Johannesburg and Lot no 95 had the following description: 'The coin market is relatively underdeveloped in South Africa compared to the rest of the world and, and with the new generation of collectors becoming interested in the series, the coins will become very scarce indeed.'
