Spent the early evening watching a glorious sunset over the ocean, then had a call from my mom. Turns out a distant relative, who knows that i collect coins, unearthed a box of coins left by her late hubby, and sent them along to me, since i did her a few good turns on the two occasions when she was in PE. I double-checked the catalogue price on one of those sets which she sent, called the most knowledgeable dealer in the country to confirm, then called her to tell her what i'd discovered... It's priced at R400k, folks! Heaven knows how much more a collector would pay, since only 16 such sets were minted in 1926. I'm encouraging her to have the dealer sell it for her, since it'll assure her that her last few years on this planet will be spent in relative comfort. She wants me to keep the rest of the box though, some pretty rare pieces in there

It's a really pleasant, sunny October day here, almost unseasonal, although we had crap weather over the past 2 days.
I've just finished mowing the lawn and doing other domestic duties around the place; now I can chill before we head off to braai with our usual friends at our old place in Beckton, east London.
Didn't do too much last night; watched a DVD and nearly fell asleeep in front of the TV.. was quite knackered after a hectic, long-hours week at work.

I'm hosting my buddy's bachelor party tonight; he and my cuz are tying the knot next weekend. At 14h00 the temp in the shade was a cool 37°! Let's hope that next weekend isn't as hot, since i'm the bestman, and the Krypsta ain't no fan of such extreme temperatures.

@ kryptic, that is cool about the coins. Wonder what all my dads old coins are worth. Maybe i will document them sometime and pass the info along. Maybe there are some rare stuff in between there.
Yeah, today was quite hot.Spent most of my day inside. Still doing absolutely nothing. Going to watch some shows on my phone later.

Francois, yep, it's surprising how much collectors are willing to pay for some items. Have a look at
http://www.randcoin.co.za/sitemap.asp and
http://www.coinshoppe.co.za/ for some online catalogues, which ought to give you an indication of scarce dates and values.
