South African 1 oz Gold Krugerrand Coin BU (Random Year)

Got a very nice looking coin. Very satisfied.

Produced in the traditional crown gold recipe, don’t let those scrubs on YouTube dissuade you from choosing this excellent coin. They’ll cite “color” as a con, they are ignorant to this coins heritage. I’ve purchased American Gold Eagles, and I must say I prefer the lower premium and Crown Gold look. Plus, unlike the 9999 variants, you can reliably ping test it without denting, and it sounds beautiful, no thud with this coin, and no need for silly plastic capsules.

Understanding, my Kruger was minted in 1975. That's twenty years before it would have even been allowed to come to the States. I selected "random year" for the premium reduction. There is a noticable dent along the edge. Some patina in the crevices. It is 47 years old, 22k, and it still shines up. I would not have bought this particular coin from a less reputable dealer.

Apmex always have variety of products.

Always a great purchase from APMEX.

Ordered a rando year, got a flawless 2021 coin. Very pleased. The Krugerrand is the granddaddy of the modern bullion coins we know now - and what a coin it is. Flawless strike and finish, easily a match for our Gold Eagles. Do note, if you buy a rando year coin, you get exactly that - and there was a subtle but nonetheless distinct change in the coins around 2000. The older ones are more yellow, vice more of a rose gold color for the current ones (remember they are .9167 gold and the rest an alloy metal, which makes the metal more resistant to damage), and a different font. Both versions are beautifully made, but if you prefer one over the other you’re literally getting dealer’s choice.

Another addition to real money

I bought this the end of May 2019 for my son's college graduation present. I think he got "the bug". He came over for dinner this week and said, "Hey, can I have my old baptism bracelet?" ... And then he weighed it on my gram scale.

The Quality was outstanding, and above what i was expecting! I have purchased silver before with APMEX but this was my first online gold purchase and would not hesitate to purchase gold again through APMEX.

I've been wanting to purchase some gold coins as an investment for awhile, but hadn't pulled the trigger until recently. I plan to purchase at least one coin from each of the major mints, but started with the Krugerrand because it was on sale. I'm not familiar with what BU is supposed to look like, so I can't say with impunity that this coin matches that level, but it's in what I would consider to be excellent condition. APMEX made this transaction very pleasant. I've already placed my second order!
