<p>[QUOTE="ConfederateHalf, post: 7301555, member: 27946"]My current favorite is my 1975 Republic of Rhodesia 5 Cent piece. Graded PF67CAM by PCGS. What makes it so special? Extreme rarity. Although there is some debate on mintage, it is generally accepted that no more than 10 were minted in proof. But, other sources claim that only 6 complete sets of Republic of Rhodesia coins were minted for the Ian Smith government by the South African Mint in 1975, so the true number could be 6. In any event, I always wanted to own a coin of this level of rarity and now I do, after 51 years of collecting! I should add that I also like this coin because I’ve always had a bit of fascination and admiration for the plucky Rhodesians who fought like lions for 15 years to maintain their independence and freedom from communism. A lost cause in the end, but one I nevertheless admire.[ATTACH=full]1277055[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
