Photos from recent gradings ( thanks to Don ) - Edited:

OK - the grades:

1896 2 1/2 Shilling XF45
1896 6d AU50
1896 1 Shilling Cleaned
1897 2 Shilling MS61
1897 2 1/2 Shilling MS63 ( 2nd Finest ? )
1897 3d Cleaned
1897 1 Shilling Cleaned

In Summary: I found a website which said that the Finest Known 1897 2 1/2 Shilling is an MS64 example from the Froelich Collection ( he also owned the single 9 at one time ). This was a coin graded by NGC so I hope that it is still the highest graded 1897 2 1/2 Shilling. Therefore I can't wait to check out the PCGS population table to see where my coin ranks. I guess I'll have to wait till I see the slab to find the appropriate number.

I was a bit disappointed with the cleaned coins but life goes on. At least now I have a few PCGS benchmark coins as I previously only had NGC slabbed ZARs ( only 1 PCGS Pond ). I may resubmit to NGC or ANACS but will see.

I hope you like 'em.

And a big THANKS to the 'shroom for posting the pics !!!

    Really attractive coins....! The beards on Mr. Krueger in my collection aren't quite so detailed (sigh)....

    I just want to add that I am a willing buyer for high quality or rare date ZAR coins.

    So if you want to sell them then please think of me. image

    Just received the coins back from the good old US of A.

    However I was under the impression that I would get laminated photos back as well.

    I paid $5 per photo.

    Could some one please enlighten me - am I supposed to receive laminated photos or are the photos only available on the web ?

    TIA

    On the web only.


    You can get a CD with larger versions of them, in the ~450KB range per photo, for an extra dollar I think (for the CD).


    Then you can print them, laminate them and whatever else pleases you by yourself. image
