2011 R2 SILVER WWF 50TH ANNIVERSAY - TABLE MOUNTAIN PRIVY
NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo 
special "R.A. MOORE COLLECTION" pedigree.

The NGC census shows pop 10 in PF69 with none in higher grades. 3 coins graded PF68 with 2 eveb lower for a total of 15 coins showing on the census.


This coin was only sold in a set with a gold medal.  This coin is almost never offered for sale as an ungraded example and when it is offered for sale it is always coupled with the expensive gold medal.
To get this coin I had to buy the set with the expensive gold coin.

Mintage:90  This is the rarest silver R2. The graded coins are a result of collectors buying and having them graded and they are (usually) never offered for sale as a graded coin. This coin is interesting because it was struck at the South African Mint normally and then the Privy Mark was struck in a ceremony on the top of Table Mountain! The obverse (front side) features the endangered Blue Crane.
In an attempted to get the first PF70, I bought the set and sent the coin in for conservation and grading. Sadly, it only graded PF69 and didn't set a new high. There probably will never be a PF70 because of several reasons, the least of which is it cost thousands to buy the set to begin with! In addition, these are rarely offered for sale as an ungraded set in order to obtain good candidates for grading.  This coin is a duplicate in my collection.
I should mention that when I got my first example of this coin that it had not been offered for sale in years. I had to pay a "head hunter" to locate the coin.  Unfortunately, that coin was in a set and I had to buy the set with the gold medal and then sell the medal at a break even price.  That's a lot of work and some risk when sending money overseas and importing the coin/medal set.   A little over a year later I had the opportunity to buy and import another set and at an even higher cost.
My goal was to see if I could get the first ever PF70 - despite the odds being low of being successful and the costs being high and the risks being moderate. Having researched the matter and having  graded (by NGC after NCS conservation) two of these coins I've come to the conclusion that there probably will never be a PF70 for this coin type. I'll keep my reasons to myself since I compete in the silver R2 Registry sets but I think that it is a valid and accurate assessment.   While it is not impossible for this coin type to grade higher sometime in the future, it is extremely unlikely - even if this coin was cheap and plentiful as a raw coin - which it is not in either regard.

 
This ships out from Jackson, Georgia in 2 business days after receiving payment. 


I also sell sealed sets so be sure to see my other listings - I may even have a sealed set on auction. If you don't see a sealed set for this particular type then that means that I don't have any that I am willing to sell.
