1972 Rhodesia Cent

Have a Rhodesia coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

The one and only Rhodesian coin I own.  There are few things I know about Rhodesia off the top of my head. It was a British colony, it became a republic, and their money as "Rhodesia" lasted from 1964-1977. So it was short lived yet they do have a few special sets.

Certain Rhodesian proof sets are very rare, even unique. 

1. 1964 (8-coins), Total sets = 10, Double set — $250.00
2. 1964 (4-coins), Total sets = 2,060,  — $50.00
3. 1966 (3-coins), Total sets = 2,000,  — $1,600.00
4. 1968 (2-coins), Total sets = 3,  Double set — $2,250.00
5. 1970 (6-coins), Total sets = 3,  Double set — $5,000.00
6. 1973 (2-coins), Total sets = 2,  Double set — $1,500.00 
7. 1975 (8-coins), Total sets = 1,  Double set — $7,000.00 
8. 1975 (6-coins), Total sets = 4,  — $5,000.00
9. 1975 (4-coins), Total sets = 4,  — $3,500.00

That is right the 1975 double set had a mintage of 1 and is worth about $7,000 the last I checked. The coins are pretty simple in design but the fact so few were made gave them greater value. Notice that anywhere else 2,060 would be considered a low mintage but not here when compared with 4 or less. 

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Rhodesia
Year: 1972
Mintage: 10,000,000
Metal: Bronze
Value: $0.10 in VF
