Gold Krugerrands - Why you NEED to be Stacking Gold Krugerrand Coins!

The trick is to have the right mix of equity investment and similar type investments and a % in physical PM. Your age, risk appetite and short term debt will affect your interest or wisdom of buying PM's. Buying PMs is clever if you are debt free, mortgage free, balanced portfolio in place, rainy day cash fund in place, then you should be dipping your toe into physical PM's. I would also add Crypto at that point as well, but pending regulation of Crypto gives me pause as it is so new, unknown and is a competitor to the Central Banks. Gold they understand and keep under control.

Absolutely LOVE the Krugerrand. This was the coin that started it all. This was the coin that made Bullion coins of today what they are. This was first, the rest followed. OK, one could argue that gold Sovereigns were already long established and first at the party. True, but this was the first mass produced 1oz gold coin. The Sovereign is a true legend, but at the same time a bit of an anomaly for modern day "stackers" due to the quantity of gold per coin making it a bit difficult to easily know how much gold you have by simply counting up the coins. The design is simple, well executed, instantly recognised the world over and remains completely unchanged since it began in 1967. Now available in silver too in the exact same design! Great vid my friend, and hats off to the Krugerrand in both gold and silver forms.

[@Maxified666]

22k gold is still inferior to 24k gold, when you're buying metal for the metal value, the cheapest coin makes the most sense. Everything else is just sentimental value of the art / history of the coin.

[@KenGroth-ts6ge]

You add up your sovereigns and multiply that by the price of each sovereign. You are welcome.

[@HifiCentret]

Btw. The Krugerrand was actually meant for circulation - just as the vintage copper alloyed coins. Also it's the only legal tender (gold) bullion coin not to have a low and ridiculous fictional face value. The value of the Krugerrand is whatever the gold value is - hence no denomination only gold weight.

[@adamzahafi739]

I appreciate it that you are talking about the Kruggerand. Most Americans don't know about gold so they only buy the Gold eagle. Krugs are known globally, not just in the US. New stackers might not buy them. They have to learn though. Gold is going to become more scarce in the future. If you find a good deal on a krug don't hesitate to buy it. You can sell them anywhere in the world. They are usually in great condition-even the old stock coins from the 70's. I buy them. I will continue to buy them.

You didn't mention it explicitly, but in most European countries (and elsewhere in the world I suppose), you have to pay Value-Added Tax on bars and rounds. For France, Germany and the Scandinavian countries, that's like 15%-25% VAT. But legal tender like coins is exempt from VAT (since you're basically "buying money"). That makes a huge difference. The Krugerrand (or in the local language: "KROO-yer-RANT") is a classic, the grandfather of modern bullion coins. I would actually prefer 22 karat coins because I would not trust myself to handle a .9999 Au coin without stratching it. Plus, the unique fiery-gold colour really sets it apart in a stack.

I like the Krugerrands. Have a 1/10th and a 1oz in a depository.

[@robbonsw5666]

I have mine in a suppository

[@aussiegirl6738]

We love the Kruger I have the 1oz and 1/4. Hubby has the 1/2. They are dearer in Australia. I also have one in original box 🥰it’s my fav

[@peterwilson9327]

♥️ my Krugs. True, lcs offers less $$$ vs maple leaf and esp. eagles.

[@christinewelch9959]

At some point we won't be trading gold coins for dollars. Think necessities - food, fuel, shelter. Is bitcoin a necessity?

[@silverchimp5045]

Bought my first 1 oz Krug yesterday! I fell better about my purchase now 😂

[@ralphchurch7]

So, the Krugs and the American gold eagle must weigh more than one ounce? If they contain impurities.

[@TheGroovyJones]

Their total weight is 1.0909 troy oz. because of 1 ozt gold and the rest is what they added to prevent scratching. A maple will weigh 1 ozt exactly.

[@juliancooney68]

I have been told to stay away from Krugs because there are a lot of fakes about so dealers are less likely to buy them back compared to a Britannia I’m based in the UK so would love feedback about stacking Krugs and future selling within the UK. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@monicabond3218]

with a little bit of experience fakes become relatively easy to spot,

[@thorlin3826]

Maple is only $2 more right now. If it brought better premium, that would be the buy. Things always change.

[@tjvohs1]

You got any current thoughts on platinum? Friday the 19th platinum had a $40 dollar drop at the open. It is an interesting PM to watch. Also I'm one of those guys who have to have 24k gold. The new security features on the 2021 Britannias currently make it my favorite gold.

Have some smaller fractionals. A 2 Rand, 2-1Rands & 10gr Rand bar. Hope to get at least a 1/2 oz Krug.

What's your thoughts on buying gold nuggets??? Can't afford the more expensive coins

[@pandemicgrower4212]

Plaster gold is a good way to avoid paying over price and it os still gold. If you buy go for Australian or Alaskan gold as it will be higher purity

Great video Silver Dragons! Very good point on the pay backs!

[@rhwinner]

So I pay 1840, and get 1735 + 3 when I sell it back? Do I have that right? Doesn't sound like such a great deal. So Gold has to go up by 5% just to break even. am I missin' something?

Gold is out of my reach atm. I’ve only got one fractional but I focus more on silver anyway. I just scored a 4oz round for under spot 😎 it made my day!!

Some of my first coins were 1/10 Oz Gold Krugerrands.

[@fromundadeez4823]

@@buschfunker1724 1/10 gold eagle proof is what I went with in hopes that the resale would be high so I could flip it into silver but as of now I’m still holding onto it, not worth the flip yet.

Great video 😁

[@SilverDragons47]

thanks so much my friend! 🔥🐉

[@gelvesu]

This varies over time. Buy the cheapest coin. Gold is gold

[@gabrielesolletico518]

So now the 20$ Gold coins would be a better choice, according to you? Just asking.

[@gelvesu]

I ment that the premiums are variable. Sometimes Krugerrand have less premium and sometimes the kangaroos have less premium so buy the coin with the smallest premium. Still gold. Same product

[@gerrykelly-zk6lf]

Liquidity is important to consider based on where you live in the world. I don't mind paying a little more on premium if I know that I'm buying the most liquid resale coin for my region of the world. Local knowledge and good relationship with the LCS or gold company that you bought from pays for itself later when going to sell.

[@cyrilhudak4568]

I bought 7 for $600 each, back in '06. I'm sick that I didn't buy 10 more. Ironically, NOBODY was recommending buying bullion back then.

Best bang for your buck.

useful info!! Thanks! I am prepping for a Buffalo purchase hopefully soon.

[@andrewworthington4073]

Yes krugerrands are 22ct because of copper added but they contain exactly 1oz of pure 24ct gold this is misleading to some its actually better as it gives the coin more durability the total weight of the coin is slightly more than 1oz factoring in the copper for strengthening, also every bullion dealer in the world recognises krugerrands as the best 1oz gold coin.
