Up for sale is a silver 5 shilling coin struck to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the creation of the Union of South Africa. This coin shows the Union buildings, government buildings which house the administrative offices of the Union of South Africa. These buildings were completed in 1913. The buildings would serve as the site for many protests over the years and serve as the place where Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as President of South Africa in 1994. This coin comes certified and sealed in a tamper-proof NGC holder. Please view photos and feel free to ask questions.
Let's discuss offers: If we have "make an offer enabled", please make a reasonable offer. We try to pay a fair price when we buy coins, so 30% off offers will be ignored. eBay makes more per coin when you buy it than I do. If we do not have that option enabled, please DO NOT email us about a lower price.
Let's discuss feedback: We are not perfect. When we make a mistake, we will admit to it and fix it. We respectfully request that you leave 5 star feed back to help maintain our seller fees low. Most people do not realize that 4 star seller ratings make seller's fees go up. Please consider that when leaving feedback.
We use barcodes to track all our items. This is the little 4 character code, 37S6, written on the holder.
Your item will ship in a nondescript box or bubble mailer with tracking, signature required, and insurance when necessary.
When ordering multiple items, order them together to save on shipping. Multiple items ordered separately may result in your order being delayed an additional day.
All our items are 100% Authentic and genuine. We have EXTENSIVE training in counterfeit coins and currency. There is an astronomical amount of counterfeit coins out there. We have intentionally purchased coins directly from China, so that all our employees have them to reference to PREVENT buying them. These coins were used in an actual ANA counterfeit detection class, which was attended by all our employees. We have also won awards for our counterfeit display at coin shows.
Of course, grading is subjective. It is simply an opinion. You know, everyone has one. We grade strictly in accordance with the ANA Grading Standard. Our Chief Grader, Bill, finished in the top of the ANA Summer Seminar Advanced Grading Class. This class is taught by senior graders at PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. He is also an authorized dealer for these grading services.
Low Country Coins was established in 2006 by Bill, while on active duty in the U.S. Navy (now retired from active duty). Early on, we figured out that selling coins online would only work if you accurately represent your coins, offer them at a fair price, and provide excellent customer service. Now we are one of the largest online retailers of coins and currency in the US, and the largest in SC. For more information, visit our website, www.lowcountrycoins.com
