South Africa produced 3,500 of the 9-coin proof sets in 1952. Acording to the 2010 edition of the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the set is valued at US$45.00. Note that the set contains 1.0223 troy ounces of silver (six of the nine coins are 50% silver), which means that it has a "melt" value (as of May 25, 2013, with silver at US$22.50 per troy ounce) of US$23.00.
Note also that 12,000 of the 11-coin proof sets were also produced in 1952. These, by virtue of the inclusion of the gold pound and half-pound coins, are valued by the SCWC at US$400. However, those two additional coins contain 0.3532 troy ounces of gold and thus have a "melt" value (as of May 24, 2013 with gold at US$1387 per troy ounce) of US$489, so the US$400 number is clearly a bit low.
