Hi All...

First post on the World Forum, please be kind..."-)

Picked up this coin at a local show in Denver Colorado, can someone tell me the story on it...?

Is it Bullion, regular issue and/or any history would be appreciated...

Also... Some pretty cool toning don't you think...?

    Welcome to the forum, your coin appears to be a 1964 South Africa 50 cent. mintage 86,000 Silver .45 oz. unc value about $10-12. Beautiful toning and fantastic picture.

    When I was a kid in 1964, I ordered some coins, including the 50¢ pieces, from the South Africa mint in Pretoria.

    Here is a copy of their 1964 price list.

    Great camera work! image South Africa's proof coins get some awesome toning from the blue felt lined mint cases. Your's looks great.
