SA 1968 Long Gold Set Packaging
This nine-coin set is offered in the original red fitted case of issue with a 'SAM' mint stamp on the interior of the lid and gold lettering on the exterior. 10,000 sets of this type were issued by the South African Mint, but complete sets, including the gold coins, can be challenging to acquire, particularly in the UK and Europe.
Buying Pre-Owned Proof Sets
As older, unencapsulated, pre-owned proof issues, these 1968 South African coins may show signs of toning and surface hairlines, particularly to the side that has seen the most exposure. No certificate of authenticity is supplied with these sets, as none was issued. The images on this webpage are stock photos representing the type and grade of coins you can expect to receive, but not necessarily the exact set.
