South Africa Burgers Pond : World Coins

Date Sold	Category	Lot	Description	Sale Price
01/09/2019 Auction 166	World Coins	Lot 1191	South Africa Burgers Pond 1874 Fine Beard KM#1.2 NVF/VF with a mount having been removed from the edge at the top. The coins surfaces in this area appear undamaged. 7.99 grammes. A Very Rare issue and seldom offered, with a mintage of just 695 pieces	£4,500

07/12/2014 Auction 147	World Coins	Lot 908	South Africa Burgers Pond 1874 Fine Beard KM#1.2 GVF with some small scratches on the obverse, very rare with the mintage believed to be just 695 pieces with few surviving, most of which are ex-jewellery, we note an example in a recent London Auction described as VF, and with a scratched X in the obverse field realised over £4000	£8,000

01/03/2014 Auction 144	World Coins	Lot 688	South Africa Burgers Pond 1874 Fine Beard KM#1.2 NGC AU55, EF/GEF and extremely rare in this pleasing and high grade. This 1874 issue was South Africa's first circulating Pond (Pound or Sovereign) issue, engraved by Leonard Wyon the then Royal Mint engraver and struck by the Heaton Mint Birmingham. The coin was rejected by South African legislators who objected to the use of the portrait of Thomas Burgers the 2nd president of the Republic and the man entrusted with the design. The total issue of 695 were sold off as novelties with the vast majority becoming jewellery pieces, hence the extreme rarity of undamaged examples in this high grade. As well as South African collectors the coin fits well into any comprehensive Sovereign collection being the same weight and fineness, and in fact an example was sold in the recent Bentley Sovereign Collection at Baldwins which realised £38,000 More coins like this	£10,000

01/03/2014 Auction 144	World Coins	Lot 687	South Africa Burgers Pond 1874 Fine Beard KM#1.2 About Fine, ex-mount, Very Rare with the mintage believed to be just 695 pieces, with few surviving, most of which are ex-jewellery, we note an example in a recent London Auction described as VF, and with a scratched X in the obverse field realised over £4000	£1,800
