South Africa Proof Set.

is that like the emails that say the item is 1 million but we are going to send you a money order for 3 million if you let it clear in your bank and we will give you the rest for your trouble

no no forgive me as I am only joking

Coins are subject to the law of supply and demand. Even with a mintage of only 1000 (a low supply), very few people want this item (demand is very low). Personally, I'd absolutely love having a mintage 1000 item. One of my earliest finds was a 1906 50c from Liberia with a mintage of 24,000. Certainly a low mintage coin for a circulation strike. However, it is only worth a small amount (though definitely more than the 20c I paid). How many people care about this coin? Well, I do cause I found it in this manner.

I just looked, there were three different proof sets issued in 1967 in South Africa. The proof set comprised of the gold coins had a mintage of 1000, however, there were 25000 of the nongold containing sets.

Finally, crain300, your replies make no sense and seem sort of insulting, but it's too hard to tell what you're really saying.

Thank-you Jays-Dad, unfortunately I have one from the 25,000, oh well - now I can see the value.
