Lot 5:
South Africa: Republic Silver R1 “Afrikaans” of 1965 MS 61 NGC.
UNC Mintage: ???
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 8 graded as Mint State making this UNC example much scarcer than the proof.
(Total 8 graded Mint State@ NGC: 1 x 65, 2 x 64, 3 x 63, 1 x 62 and 1 x 61).
This is the first Mint State example we have ever seen or handled.
Sold @ R60,000.
