<p>[QUOTE="jlblonde, post: 1607231, member: 32000"]Not sure. Maybe a few dollars over spot. It hard to say how much someone will pay for a raw XF gold coin even one as handsome/exotic as the pond. Kruger himself had the OS and double shaft wagon coins recalled and replaced with corrected versions, but many of these were hoarded and later found their way to market. Plus there's no mintage records.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $50 over spot for an unslabbed XF.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: </p><p><br /></p><p>OS (Designer Otto Schultz) in Afrikaans means ox and the OS initials were under the bust of good ol' Kruger. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also the Voortrekker wagon was totally wrong.

[QUOTE="jlblonde, post: 1607231, member: 32000"]Not sure. Maybe a few dollars over spot. It hard to say how much someone will pay for a raw XF gold coin even one as handsome/exotic as the pond. Kruger himself had the OS and double shaft wagon coins recalled and replaced with corrected versions, but many of these were hoarded and later found their way to market. Plus there's no mintage records. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $50 over spot for an unslabbed XF. BTW: OS (Designer Otto Schultz) in Afrikaans means ox and the OS initials were under the bust of good ol' Kruger. Also the Voortrekker wagon was totally wrong. The correct wagon has a single shaft/hitch and larger wheels in the rear. The incorrect version has a double shaft and even sized wheels all around. This all happened because the mint at Pretoria wasn't ready to begin minting and the job had been placed with the German Imperial mint in Berlin.[/QUOTE]
