Lot 31:
South Africa: Republic Silver R1 “Afrikaans” of 1965 MS 61 NGC.
UNC Mintage: 2341.
Extremely rare. This uncirculated Afrikaans R1 is much rarer than the Proof R1 of 1965.
NGC has graded a total of 70 proofs and only 9 graded as Mint State making this UNC example much scarcer than the proof.
(Total 9 graded Mint State @ NGC: 1 x 65, 2 x 64, 3 x 63, 1 x 62 and 2 x 61).
We previously sold one example of the same grade MS 61: Cape Town Coin Fair Auction, Sale #60, Lot # 5. Sold for R60,000.
Sold @ R53,199.
