Here is a really neat set of 12 Proof South African Gold Krugerrands. The set has all of the proofs one ounce gold coins from 1967 to 1977, including two 1968 proofs, one with the frosted obverse and one with the brilliant obverse. The coins are held in a custom made plastic holder similar to the more modern capital plastic holders, and the holder is sealed closed with a lead seal. The set appears to have been put together by a company named Numismatics, Ltd. of Beverly Hills and was likely put together in or about the late-1970s. The coins are in pretty nice condition overall, but there are a couple of minor spots on a few of the coins and some slight haze on a few others. All of the coins have a mintage of 10,000 or less (and some of those were certainly melted around 1980) so this is a neat opportunity to get the first dozen proof Krugerrands at once and in a wonderful custom display holder for not too much of a premium over their gold value. |
