  • Few coins in the South African 2nd decimal series are as elusive as the 1965 Afrikaans R1. Recently one came up for auction and in this rare opportunity, those that witness it was able to see what such a coin would sell for in an auction. This kind of information is incredibly valuable and it's exciting to watch as well.

      Nice, if it's in top condition, typically up to R20 in value. Keep on collecting.

    I have A collection of 1965 coins.
    One of them are A 1965 50c and A R1.
    I would really want know to know how can I sell ot auction them?

      Hi there. Interesting. You have to look very carefully. If the 1965 R1 coin is Afrikaans, i.e. "Suid Afrika" and in good condition (like to coin in this video), you're looking at R15,000 plus. If it's English, i.e. "South Africa", it's worth around R200-R600, depending on condition.
      For the 50c, the opposite applies. If the wording is in Afrikaans, then a few rands. If it's in English, then the price would be upwards of R20,000+ Quality will play a huge role here. If the 50c is uncirculated and in English, I think R100k easily.
      Best places remain the FB groups like the one in this video. You'll get a fair price. The people are also quite nice.

    Should you clean your old coins?

    • @penniesshillings
      @penniesshillings  Рік тому

      Well, if the coin you are cleaning is close to "face-value", then cleaning it would have no/little impact. If it is a truly rare coin, I would not recommend you clean it. The only exception to that rule is PVC. That stuff needs be removed asap.

      @@reprimand33 congratulations on an awesome set! Getting them graded? That's a really tough call. Grading has becomes very expensive. NGC for example it works out around R500-R700 per coin. Ouch! SANGS's is still working on their reputation imho.
      For the proof sets, I personally prefer them ungraded in their box as they were originally intended. The grading cost does not warrant the increase in value.
