    I recently bought a South African 1952 proof set. It was missing the one shilling (silver) and 1/2 pound (gold) coins. I was able to buy a proof 1952 1 shilling a couple of weeks ago and a proof 1952 1/2 pound coin just arrived in the mail today.

     

    They look great all together in their blue case. The '52 coins are special because that is the last year of King George the sixth, who is on the obverse of all the coins.The coins have strikingly beautiful reverses with animals and ships.

     

    I will get the ones conserved that were in the box originally, as they are filthy, but otherwise in MS condition. I will follow up with a picture tomorrow.

    I have just purchased (for bullion price) two Gorbachev Man Of The Year medals. In 1988, Gorbachev was Time Magazines "Man Of The Year" . Someone minted these medals using gold and sliver. The large one is silver; the other gold.

     

    My question is this; has anyone ever seen or heard of the medals? I have searched all over the internet and have found no mention of them anywhere. I am sure they are US minted, but they aren't legal tender coins.

     

    They came in a nice little wooden box. I will post pictures when i get to my other computer.

    I hope all of you continue buying only slabbed coins and leave the "raws" to me. I make a ton of money buying raw and having them graded. I am VERY careful about what to buy so i haven't really been burned yet. The occasional cleaned or damaged coin is simply the cost of doing business.

     

    Brick and mortar coin dealers are a good place to buy if you are interested only in collecting and don't intend to ever sell your coins. They have to sell at a markup of 20% or better in order to stay open.

     

    Coins are an excellent long term investment. They are also a good short term "turnover" investment for online dealers, especially on Ebay. If you buy and sell on Ebay you can keep the prices reasonable for your customers.
