What it's worth when you sell
The South African Mint struck the first 1 oz 22 carat Krugerrand on 3 July 1967; the idea came from the Chamber of Mines. The alloy is 916.7 parts gold and 83.3 parts copper. The 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 oz sizes were added in 1980. It is legal tender but carries no face value (the 1 oz platinum proof is an exception at R10). Proof sizes also include 2 oz, 1/20 oz and 1/50 oz.
Bullion coins sell at a premium over melt value (smaller sizes carry bigger premiums) and dealers buy them back at or a little under the spot value of their gold.
