South Africa 2011 Great Limpopo Elephants 1000 Mintage

What does everyone think?

US$136.00... Worth it?

Only 1000 mintage. Don't seem to see this anywhere accept for Downies and Eurocollections.





Buy?Buy?Buy?

 

I'd pass personally ,low numbers don't always mean much
Eurocollections is a Downies company & I don't believe in they're premium coins
Just my opinion

 

I am from South Africa so I will give my bias opinion

South Africa are well recognised for their gold coins - probably the most recognised gold coin in the world - the Krugerrand.

South Africa does not make standard silver bullion coins but they do produce the commerative coins. This particular one might not be the best example but I do think they make decent coins.

For example I would love to get my hands on this coin: (Limited Edition: 500 mintage)

So I do think the South African silver coins have potential.

 

+1 on the 20C and the font. Otherwise lovely coin but not worth the money imo.

South Africa use Rand, what's the 20 c?

Can't be 20 cents.

 

Yup, 20 cents. They use rands and cents in saffa land.

 

I know it might seem stupid but the huge 20c is annoying, I think it ruins the design. I like the one Pushingtin has shown us.

 

I just ordered the coin I showed you guys.... I will only get to see it when I am back in South Africa on holiday in May though.

 

Do you mind telling us where you ordered the coin from?

 

I agree too, the "20 c" so big ruined the whole coin design... sometime a small thing can make great difference.

Alex.

 

I ordered it from a South African auction site where the sellers usually dont ship internationally.

I am hoping to return to SA by the end of this year permanently (Its just a hope at this stage though!) but if this done happen then I will be able to get all the South African coins when they released and make it available to you guys.

 

Thanks pushingtin. That would be great.
