Hi, I've just made a £25 impulse buy! I bought a set of 7 1962 South Africa coins 50cent 20cent 10cent 5cent 2 1/2 cent 1cent and half cent coin in a red box inside the lid is a name and address A. Bickel, Coins and Medals, 151 Jeppe street Johannesburgh. I was wondering if anyone else has a boxed set like this is it a mint proof set? or a set that has been made up by this Bickel shop? The coins have some tarnish but they look uncirculated. Thanks
Sounds like a private issue box. I heard of the name Bickels when I was collecting in the 1960's. Pictures would help. South Africa Mint products of that period generally look like this: South Africa 1964 Proof Set - Case South Africa 1964 Proof Set - Open
