Just getting around to doing these. Here's a couple of Proof 1/2ds from South Africa. Both years have a mintage of 150.

1944 1/2d

1945 1/2d

I also picked up two more '44 Proof 1ds, I had one living a NGC proir to FUN. I'll scan those later.

Pcgs was tough on all of these. (bought them pre slabbed) The '44 1/2d got a Pr63 and the '45 a Pr64.

Pretty neat Rob, however, to make it more interesting why not add a nice fish story.

Now get off my thread!!!

lordmarcovan · January 26, 2004 7:53AM

No need to get so testy! Geez!

I might have seen those in Orlando, but can't remember if I did. Of course, I have trouble remembering yesterday. Nice coins Terry.

Outstanding coins!

Luvdawgs · January 26, 2004 10:05AM

Great haul there, Terry! Congrats

I agree with everyone...excellent obverse strikes!

Thanks everyone!

You folks have inspired me so, I'll get the 1d's done tomorrow.

Hopefully you'll hold a nice giveaway for your ugly PR63 duplicates?

Nice sig line LM. I love these associations you make, like the half cent from that murderer in Georgia.You assumed it was his pocket change, right?

Really awesome coins, Terry!!

I'm glad that you catch those great pieces for your SA proof coins collection !
