Nice Condors Yarm.

I love the 1804 Roman - great looking coin.

From EBay (but who knows what it will actually look like when I receive it?)!

Nice one yarm - looks to be in great condition !!!

May I ask where you picked it up from ?

Hi TJ

The answer that you are looking for is:

Silver 0.800

Copper 0.200

Enjoy your evening,

Zar

Great photos Roman !!

I don't have time to look at them all now but as the great man said ' I'll be back'.

Ask me anything you want TJ.

I use South African Coins & Patterns by Brian Hern.

Mine is the 2006 edition so it's still pretty recent.

It seems to me though that SA coin prices are lower in SA then they are elsewhere in the world. I guess that is obvious why but it is important to note when looking at the prices.

If you are interested in ordering the book I can send you Brians Email address. I believe that I took the last Hardcover copy but there are still a few softcover copies left.

Wow - nice coin.

I'd almost say it's Proof.

Nice photography.

leeg - I never replied to your coin.

Please except my apologies. Belatedly I have to say:

Super coin.

Hi TJ,

My apologies: It is true that the 1967E has no Proof mintage ( I am checking my book as I type ).

However I made a mistake in my previous post:

The 1967E says South Africa.

The 1967A Says Suid-Africa.

My apologies for any confusion.

I will now amend the original post.

Aha - South African, my favourite collecting area.

I prefer my South Africans a bit older then the one in the post above. However I do like the coin especially the toning. Nice pick up.

I also would like to point out that this is the version of this date which has Suid-Africa printed on the obverse ( known as 1967A ). The other type of this date has South Africa printed on the obverse ( known as 1967E).

The 1967E has no Proof mintage.

The 1967A has a Proof mintage of 25,000.

Edit: I amended the mistakes in this post.

My Bible is The Louis E. Eliasberg Collection of World Gold Coins and Medals by ANR in conjunction with Spink.

This was the catalogue for the World Gold Sale on April 18-19th, 2005.

It features some SENSATIONAL coins.....sensational to look at but also sensationally priced.

Thanks for the complements on the Mouldy's ( ) guys.

Nice coins posted too by eveyone else.

As you might gather I like early 1800's English Silver.
