Got this interesting coin as bycatch from a CNG auction

South-Africa-1-Rand-1998-1/10-Oz-Gold-|-Tribesman-Hunting

Took me a while to hunt this one down, which isn't surprising given the low mintage. It came without a COA or anything except a small plastic capsule. I plan to sell it since this doesn't "fit" in my collection and is worth a non-trivial amount of money... but what sort of price should I expect? I know that Kruggerands are reasonably popular, but what about these one-off, low mintage commemoratives? NGC catalog value in proof is $275. I was able to spot one on ebay as a BIN for about $250, but it's been relisted multiple times. Should I expect more than melt for this piece?

Hi should sell for spot +20% if cased and coa. Otherwise spot +10% will be my guess without. Unfortunately I don't have enough post yet to buy/sell on this platform.

Thanks for the feedback! This one has no COA and I'm not entirely certain the capsule is original because it rattles just a little bit in there. At any rate, I have it up on ebay currently with one bid @$150. We'll see where it goes

This coin depicts the SAN people of Southern Africa.

Considered to be the original inhabitants of the region.

Also known as the "bushman". Found today in the very arid regions of the country.
