About Krugerrand Gold Coins: Why They Are Good Investments
First minted in 1967, the Krugerrand gold coins are among the most noteworthy and sought-after gold coins of today. They are also among the top five most commonly-traded bullion coins that have generated great attention from both coin collectors and investors because of their unique features and attributes. Compared to other bullion coins, the Krugerrand gold coin was minted in a durable gold alloy.
This gold coin’s name, Krugerrand, was derived from Paul Kruger, the old South African Republic’s four-term president; the face of whom is encrypted on the coin. And, you will also notice that one of South Africa’s national symbols, spring book antelope, on the other side of the coin. This gold bullion coin measures 32.6 mm in diameter and is 2.74 mm thick. Around 91% of this coin is minted with gold alloy while the remaining 8% is copper.
Aside from being a good collectors’ item, Krugerrand coin is also a good investment. It is made of 22 carats of gold and is melded with copper, making it harder, supremely durable and a worthwhile collectible both for serious collectors and astute investors. This coin’s durability is a guarantee that investors won’t have any difficulty not being able to resell them as it’ll remain almost new and in excellent condition. Copper alloy coins are known to resist dents and scratches.

A Krugerrand coin also has a great value. It is observed that its value increases around 30% every year and is predicted to continue to grow as the years go by. Another reason why Krugerrand gold coins are good investments is the fact that they are currently among the most widely-traded coins. Old and new collectors would want to see this gold coin as an important part of their collection for whatever price. It is available in various sizes, from 1 troy ounce and half an ounce to one fourth and one tenth ounce. One may choose to buy the coin individually or in great quantities.
Krugerrand gold coins can be easily purchased both from online auction sites and stores and from trusted dealers. Both of these are good places to purchase the coins from; however, you need to be a bit more careful and meticulous when buying online because of the high possibility of dealing with fake websites and getting counterfeit Krugerrand. Meanwhile, if you’re buying from a dealer, you’re less likely to get counterfeit items since these dealers are really in the business of selling gold and they will always work to maintain good reputation.
