South Africa Mint 1964 Coin Price List
Proof sets and uncirculated coins from the Pretoria Mint
| Prev | Back | Next |
The South African Mint in Pretoria produced this price list for collector coins in 1964.
Included are several mint sets, proof sets, and gold coins of the period.
The Coin:
1. South Africa 50 cents 1964
Silver, 39 mm, 28.28 gm
The Story:
I received this price list from the South Africa Mint in Pretoria in 1964.
I ordered some uncirculated coins then but could not afford the proof sets.
I could not order any gold coins even if I had the money as it was illegal at the time to import
gold coins into the United States.
Examples of 1964 prices:
A 7-coin 1964 proof set (50¢ to 1/2¢) went for R2.85 (around US $4.00)
A 9-coin 1964 proof set (50¢ to 1/2¢ plus 2 gold coins) went for R15.50 (US$21.70)
A 9-coin 1955 proof set (5s to 1/2d) went for R5.25 (US$7.35)
Several years later I did purchase a South Africa 1964 Proof Set.
It was the 7-coin 1964 proof set (50¢ to 1/2¢) listed.
