    Notes:
    Eli Levine was the author of the books, 'Coinage and Counterfeits of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek' and 'Coins of South Africa'. He developed a method of grading the quality of proof Krugerrands and, through his company the SA Gold Coin Exchange, succeeded in creating a market for these encapsulated coins. For a while, high graded coins were sold at a huge premium.
