<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 4901381, member: 13307&quot;]Just finished imaging these...have had them for years (ever since purchasing them from a fellow CT member - <i>I think</i> - a LONG time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...) and I&#039;m just now getting around to imaging them.&nbsp; I think I did a halfway decent job.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Note: It&#039;s a real shame that absolutely NONE of the other coins in the sets have toned even slightly...just the silver.&nbsp; But I&#039;ll still happily embrace this pair of springboks that will probably head to NGC to use up part of my renewal account credit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>1967 Proof 1 Rand</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i>Note: I&#039;m really, REALLY happy that the springbok side has the rainbows, as I enjoy that design quite a lot.&nbsp; The &quot;leopard spot&quot; toning on the obverse sure is kind of nasty...but I&#039;ll live with it.&nbsp; It&#039;s not nearly as bad as a proof Austria 5 Schilling I got where one side is brilliantly purple and green...and the other side is sooty black and gray.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1182648[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>1965 Proof 1 Rand</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i>Note: the obverse color on this one is amazing, and the reverse toning isn&#039;t quite a detraction as the 1967&#039;s obverse.&nbsp; Almost looks as though the springbok is jumping through a cloud of dust on its way to Chick-Fil-A - that&#039;s what they eat, right?&nbsp; Haha...</i></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i>I will say I do NOT care for the obverse portrait design at all.&nbsp; But the pastel rainbow makes it a keeper...</i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1182647[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share your own South African Mint toners - let&#039;s see some gorgeous coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
