Dave Kane Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi, I've just made a £25 impulse buy! I bought a set of 7 1962 South Africa coins 50cent 20cent 10cent 5cent 2 1/2 cent 1cent and half cent coin in a red box inside the lid is a name and address A. Bickel, Coins and Medals, 151 Jeppe street Johannesburgh. I was wondering if anyone else has a boxed set like this is it a mint proof set? or a set that has been made up by this Bickel shop? The coins have some tarnish but they look uncirculated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 If the box itself is from a particular store, it is likely a mint set that was assembled by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mghk Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi Bickells and Co is well known name here in South Africa. They are a very old Numismatic Dealer and have been putting together coin sets. The set you have is probably mint state. I believe they would hand pick the coin to put in sets so you probably got a very good set there. The 50c and 2.5c have particularly low mintages. At 25 pounds, I think you got a bargain. heres a set that sold recently on bidorbuy. http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/82522481/THE_IDEAL_CHRISTMAS_GIFT_Who_was_born_in_1962_and_turned_50_years_old_this_year.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
