[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7735126, member: 13307"]Hello all, Just bought a huge box of mixed world mint/proof sets, and I'm having some difficulty figuring out what some of them are exactly. I've got a run of Mint Sets from South Africa (1977-1987) that look like business strike coins - they're housed in what looks like a PVC plastic sleeve. I've also got a run of what look like Proof Sets (also from South Africa) from 1987-1993...except I can't find an exact match in the Krause catalog. (My sets are all housed in plastic blister packs, not the felt-lined cases.) For some years, the Krause catalog lists only an 8-coin Proof Set (like 1987, 1988, 1989) - but no 7-coin set. They do list a Mint Set with 7 coins...but these coins definitely look like proof strikes. What the heck do I have here? The sets in question (7-coin sets) are on the left; the 8-coin sets that also look like proofs (1990-1993) are on the right. [ATTACH=full]1324825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
