You get the exact one shown here: INVENTORY #. 1 OUNCE SILVER PROOF. 2 Rand face value / denomination. COIN IN CAPSULE, INCLUDES DISPLAY CASE AND COA. LIGHT TO MODERATE TONING WITH A VERY SLIGHT PINK & RAINBOW HUE. This has very faint pink and rainbow toning. This color is barely detectable but is definitely there. The seahorse coin is a very popular coin that has significant demand. It has a great design that collectors love. Examples are relatively common but are by no means cheap. This coin is often described as RARE!!! But that is not true. Numerous examples are easy to find and if someone describes this coin as’rare’,’scarce’, etc they are either misinformed or dishonest (or a mixture of both). The people that describe these as being rare are either ignorant or are being willfully deceptive. This includes a COA or Certificate of Authenticity from the South African Mint. Here we have a good example at a competitive price that has a nice appearance. This has no readily apparent defects aside from toning and the clear, focused, large images affords you the chance to examine it closely. I’ve taken photos from several different angles to give a good idea of its condition. I sell sealed sets also. You may want to check out my other items as I have lots of South African silver coins, included graded and raw coins. I’ll be listing a limited number of other types of Mint-Sealed South African silver coins in the next few days.

You get the exact one shown here: certification #. 1997 KNYSNA SEAHORSE S2R R2 – 1 OUNCE SILVER. NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. POPULATION ONLY 5 AFTER 24 YEARS OF GRADING ATTEMPTS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC – THAT’S GENUINELY SCARCE. THESE GENERALLY DON’T GRADE WELL SO THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED. THIS COIN (IN RAW STATE) IS CALLED “RARE” BY OTHER SELLERS. IT IS AS PLENTIFUL AS ANY OTHER TYPE, BUT IS GENERALLY. PRICED HIGHER FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON – ASIDE FROM, PERHAPS, THAT SEAHORSES ARE COOL? THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR COIN COSTS ME MORE THAN MOST OTHER R2’S.
