IlikeZARcoins Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_Thing ® Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Picked up two new coins for my Pontius Pilate collection. I'm pretty much just specializing in these now. My goal is to have the best collection of all of the rare variants and best examples in general on the market. I'm about 1/2 of the way there now, and should achieve this goal within a year.

the_Thing ® Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Not quite as rare, or nice as the previous, but still an important error on the legend and retrograde date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ'S Coins Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 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. Thanks ZAR May I ask what book you would recommend on South African coinage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlikeZARcoins Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoKopeiki Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Nice coins, guys. I would love to see your finished Pontius Pilate collection, Thing! Here are some of my new additions: Trip to Egypt with the girlfriend: Backward Chronological Order (view last to first) I spent way under budget on that trip, which led to my first NEWP: which lead to my other NEWPs and some pictures: as well as re-imaging a couple of my favorites: More definitely to come ~Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ'S Coins Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Ask me anything you want TJ. I use South African Coins & Patterns by Brian Hern. Thanks, ZAR, I do have a question for you. Would you be kind enough to check on the metallic composition of the 1967 SA Proof coin? I'm assuming it is silver or silver/copper but I would like to know it more precisely. I emailed Brian Hern regarding the book and the 2006 remains the most up to date. He is having more printed but will wait a year or two for another revision. Due to the high shipping costs from SA I have decided to wait to order at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are from egypt but don't know alot about world coins yet... thanks, D I also picked this up at local pawn shop for $2.00 I think it was good deal huh?

spiny Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 The Krause is invaluable if you're going to do more than dabble in World coins. Buy a used one. I'm still using a 2001 and it hasn't presented any real problems for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
