South Africa
Republic gold Veld Pond 1902 AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC, KM11, Fr-4, variety without the "slash" on the obverse. A classic type, struck at Pilgrims Rest during the Boer War. Evidence along the edges of a former mounting, though it should be noted that this is a type that is often encountered with some sort of problem; for example, the last example we sold was in September 2013, which was graded by NGC as XF Details (Excessive Surface Hairlines). Still, this is a very collectible example with relatively strong details and would make a good addition to any South African collection. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $1500 in VF, $3500 in EF, $8500 in UNC.
Estimate: 10000-12000 USD
