South Africa
Republic gold Pond 1896 MS63+ NGC, Pretoria mint, KM10.2, Hern-Z49. An immaculate Pond that comes heavily contested in Mint State, let alone in such a lofty choice classification, with this piece representing the single highest graded example of the type by NGC or PCGS. Some minor striking weakness is detectable to the upper portions of Paul Kruger's hair and the reverse eagle, as is quite common for the type, though it otherwise strikes the viewer as well-rendered and lustrous.
