NGC Expert Comments:
The brief but fascinating series of pond (pound) coins issued by the South Africa Republic in 1874 and again 1892-1900 has long tempted collectors to assemble it by date. Presented here is a nearly complete collection, lacking only the 1874 Fine Beard variety to be finished (the 1874 Coarse Beard variety is an impressive MS-64). The only coin not grading Mint State is the rare 1898 pond counterstamped “99” to indicate its year of coining when no new dies were available. Also included in this great collection is the rare and popular Veld Pond, an emergency issue made during the Boer War in 1902 (MS-62).
