All prices in US Dollars

Note: Since the evolution of the Internet the price of S&Co tokens has started rising dramatically - probably because of the comprehensive research done on these trade tokens which were used as currency for many years in the region of South Africa now known as East Griqualand. This price rise is just the tip of the ice berg as the S&Co are now being recognised by serious collectors of S African coins as being as collectable as the 1902 Veld Pond, the Sammy Marks Tickey and the Burgers Pond. These coins change hands for thousands of dollars a piece today.
