ABOUT THE BOOK
Previously, the compilers of cOin catalogues did not have the luxury of extensive information supplied by grading companies, such as the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation ( N G C ) and ( P C G S ) and the value of cOins were based on mainly three sources, being:
- The number of cOins minted – the less struck the more valuable.
- The experience (or rather perception) of collectors and especially dealers (who were in most cases the catalogue compilers) regarding their scarcity and selling price.
- References to previous cOin catalogues.
It becomes apparent from a scientific research perspective, ruling out any dealership or ownership biases that, comparing the grading statistics against the various cOin population reports of the different types of Z A R cOinage, supplied by grading companies, allows a potentially clearer understanding of rarity and value.
Pierre Nortje, the author, is an award winning Numismatist and this book is an attempt to provide a rational and structured approach in the valuation of the cOins of the ZAR in terms of their rarity.
This book, valued at R150, is on offer for FREE for one lucky subscriber! Entries close on 31 October 2021.
