A Krugerrand is always worth its gold content — but early dates and proof issues can be worth significantly more. We check every coin for date, condition, and proof status, and assess whether the numismatic premium exceeds the standard bullion price. Written per-coin valuation, not a bulk weight offer.

Important: Dealers usually sell common Krugerrands for a little more than their gold value; when you sell, our offer is based on the gold value. But first-year issues (1967), proof coins, and complete sets can be worth significantly more. Selling Krugerrands to a gold scrap dealer at melt value risks losing these premiums.
The Krugerrand was the world's first modern bullion coin, introduced in 1967. It remains the most widely traded gold coin globally, with over 70 million ounces produced. This liquidity means Krugerrands are easy to sell and command consistent premiums.
Compared to Britannias (which are CGT-exempt in the UK as legal tender), Krugerrands are not CGT-exempt — but they typically trade at lower premiums, making them more cost-effective for pure gold investment. We buy both and can advise on the relative values.

A standard one-ounce Krugerrand contains one troy ounce of fine gold, not one ounce of gross alloy. Gold value is pure-gold weight multiplied by the gold price per gram in GBP. Choose a gold price locked by agreement and confirmed in writing before sending, or the average gold price in GBP between 9am and 5pm UK time on the day your parcel arrives. The written offer states the exact percentage before you decide. Signed or branded jewellery, antique pieces and collectable coins are assessed individually. Where their assessed value is higher than their gold value, the offer reflects that; an additional premium is not guaranteed.
Are some Krugerrand dates worth more than others?
Early dates and proof issues need individual assessment of date, condition, packaging and collector demand. Signed or branded jewellery, antique pieces and collectable coins are assessed individually. Where their assessed value is higher than their gold value, the offer reflects that; an additional premium is not guaranteed.
What sizes of Krugerrand do you value?
All sizes: 1oz (33.93g), 1/2oz (16.97g), 1/4oz (8.48g), and 1/10oz (3.39g). Fractional Krugerrands typically carry slightly higher percentage premiums than 1oz coins due to higher manufacturing costs and collector demand. We assess each size individually against the agreed gold price.
Do Krugerrands need to be in perfect condition?
No. Krugerrands are bullion coins designed to be handled, and light wear does not significantly affect value. Heavy damage (deep scratches, bent coins, mounted coins) can reduce the premium above spot but the gold content retains its value. Coins in original mint capsules or tubes may command a small condition premium.
Is it legal to sell Krugerrands in the UK?
Yes, completely legal. The sanctions that restricted Krugerrand trade in the 1980s and 1990s were lifted in 1999. Krugerrands are freely traded in the UK and throughout Europe. They are one of the most liquid gold bullion coins in the world.
