Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.
I have coins to sell, what’s the next step?

What happens if I’m not entirely happy with my purchase?
On bullion products the price of goods are linked to underlying metal prices or financial markets and all sales are final, there are no refunds or exchanges. There is no statutory right to return or cancel an order once placed under the Financial Services (Distance Marketing) Regulations 2004 or Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
However, for non-bullion items, should you be unhappy with your purchase or it is in any way not as described we will accept refunds within 14 days of you receiving your item(s). If uncertain about a purchase, we encourage our clients to ask any questions beforehand so as to minimise the time our valuable coins spend in transit.
CG05523
Rhodesia, PR67 CAMEO, Proof 5-Cents, 1975.
Republic of Rhodesia, Proof 5-Cents, 1975 (KM 13). FDC and of the highest rarity, in PCGS holder graded PR67 CAMEO, the highest (and only!) example graded by PCGS.
PCGS 680802.67/35951523
KM suggests only 10 struck though grading data suggest that number will have been higher.
In 1965 the Rhodesian Government declared independence from Britain. Rhodesia functioned despite sanctions for the following 15 years until finally being recognized internationally as independent, after a change of government, and becoming the Republic of Zimbabwe, in 1980.
During those 15 years coins without Queen Elizabeth's portrait were struck for which mintage figures are fairly standard though not all denominations were minted each year. The present variety of 5-Cents was minted in 1975, 1976 and 1977 only. Proofs, however, were only struck in 1975 and the reported mintage for these proofs is an incredibly low number.
This and the other proofs of the short-lived Republic of Rhodesia are true numismatic rarities of the 20th century.
