Thoroughly enjoyed the series. Just sad that my 5 shillings dissapeared. Looking forward to your next lot of videos. Through you I have learned so much which is truly appreciated. Thanks again for all your hard work.
...the pleasure was mine! Bid-or-buy often has crowns at very reasonable prices. I suggest that you look for a nice coin there (especially on crazy Wednesday) - you never know! Thank you for you kind words of motivation and you interest.
This is one of the better presentations on coins I've viewed. I liked the way you compared the intrinsic bullion value of the coin, i.e. its actual silver content to the silver value in todays market. I live in the Republic of Ireland, in 1928 we replaced the UK coinage with our own £, s, & d. of the same size and weight but the silver coins had a higher silver content 0.750 silver than the UK equivalent 0.500, which were accepted alongside the Irish issue. Our highest issue was the 2/6d and we didn't produce a crown. We did issue a 10/- 0.833 silver in 1966 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1916 rising, this coin did not prove popular as a higher denomination and was withdrawn with over half melted down. The Crown 5/- is an impressive coin, it is bigger than our 10/- coin there is something about the Crown maybe it's just its sheer presence. We went decimal in 1970 and joined the € in 2002, so I have spent 3 different currencies in the one country.
I only collect South African coins by type and sub-type but not by date. Unfortunately in Argentina South African coins in circulated grades are way more expensive than in your country (as usually happens) but comparatively you got the chance to get a very high grade coin for the same or almost the same price as, say, a VF coin. Still I need farthings of George V, that seem to be very scarce in general, and of Elizabeth II, which I refuse to pay the prices they ask for them 😅. On the other hand, crowns and the large 50c pieces are rather plentiful and they usually come in nice grade, I have all types of them, but of course they are considerable more expensive than their bullion value.
I should actually make a video on that as well. The year plays an important role here. A graded MS or PF 1959 should go for around R7K+. The more common 1948 (also graded in high PF or MS) around R1000. It varies wildly.
Die arm man se Kruger rand. Mens kry baie beter waarde met hierdie munte as die silver Kruger en jy het dan ook die voorreg om 'n stukkie van ons geskiedenis te bewaar.

I absolutely love this! So much here that I didn't know. Thanks for taking the time to share all of this.
I have only two of these in my collection. Both 1952.

Do you have any estimate as to the value of a short proof 1960 SA Mint set of the Crown etc.
MOERSE GROOT COIN!😳🇿🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦🇬🇧👍👍
Lekker lag ek nou!
What will be good price point for these proof and MS coins?
