1975 South African Proof Set In Box

I'm starting to think the set is a 1965 looking at it online at the design atleast from memory.

The coins are silver but they aren't the ones with ugly toning. The copper coins are toned horribly. The weird thing is that the mint packaged them where the coins wasn't in any sort of flip or protection. Just loose sitting in a wood box haha.

It's cool but I was hoping for maybe a gold coin in there, which did come packaged with the 1975 set but not the 1965. However over time the gold coins usually go missing from those sets.

I will look at again when I go Friday but as cool as it may be I can't justified paying $25 unless the silver value is near that amount or over. My coin budget is too low haha. Online a 1965 goes for about $35 with all it's coins. It the 1975 set is complete its like $650. Without the gold coins it's like $40.

I will check tomorrow if I have a chance to go there. He had like five South African sets. I only looked at it since I had never seen one before. I looked at set and they were definitly unlike US proof sets. If I can find one of the ealier sets or definitly a long set I will get it. The set look interesting but took up a large amount of room and I always worry that I couldn't sell foriegn coins later if I wanted to except by the pound here. Dealers hate foriegn coins here unless they have gold or silver.

I'm always nervous to spend my money from my budget on anything but my main collections. Silver Rosie's, Buffalo nickels, Mercury dimes, and to a lesser extent my 7070.
