The Scarcity of the Coins of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek

The Scarcity of the Coins of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (Published in 2020)

Both investors and collectors of the coins of the ZAR do not always have the necessary information available when making calculated decisions in procuring expensive coins for their collections.  

This 64-page hard cover booklet (with many colour pictures) is the first extensive study ever to be done on the scarcity of the coins of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republic in graded (slabbed) form.

It uses, amongst other sources, the population reports of both the National Guarantee Corporation (NGC) and the Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS) to analyze and scrutinize the true scarcity of the coins of the ZAR.

For example, not many collectors realize that a humble coin like the 1895 Tickey is almost 5 times scarcer in certified uncirculated condition than an enigmatic ZAR coin like the gold Veldpond. Or that a “half million rand coin” like the 1874 fine-beard Burgerspond in mint state condition, is actually more common than the ZAR ponde of 1893, 1895 and 1896 in similar condition.

Fascinating stuff!

The cost of this 64-page hard cover booklet is R140 for South Africans and US$10 for overseas buyers.
