    I received this price list of coins from the South Africa Mint in Pretoria in 1964
    and used it to order some uncirculated coins.

    I did not have the money then to order proof sets.

    I was going to post my South Africa Mint 1964 pricelist but I discovered that I already had.

    These were for sale then but not to Americans due to the US gold regulations.

    I could not have afforded one anyway.

    I like this old 1964 price list. I just purchased a beautiful 1951 South African proof set to add to my collection. Beautiful coins. It is interesting to see that these coins were still available for sale as late as 1964, three years after the advent of decimal coinage with Rand and cents.

    One of my more recent purchases which I believe is quite rare and collectible:

    And to date, the most rare and desirable (for me) sovereign among my South African collection has to be the 1923SA Proof (PR64) total mintage of 655.......cannot afford to upgrade it yet:(

    That's it......I'm all out of South African coins for the moment:p;)
