In the past, it was difficult to invest in gold because it was only available in the form of bullion bars, which are costly to purchase and store. Only the very wealthy were able to afford gold bars. However, in 1967, the first Krugerrand was struck, providing a way for individual investors to add gold to their portfolios.

Today, there are many stores that sell gold coins and there is a wide variety of bullion and proof coins to choose from. Stores that sell gold coins, such as The Scoin Shop, offer a wide selection of interesting and historic gold coins and medallions. While bullion coins are valued at the cost of the precious metal they are struck from, there are many commemorative coins that have added value owing to their historical significance.

At The Scoin Shop, we sell gold coins from several different ranges, including Natura coins, which celebrate South Africas diverse wildlife, and Protea coins, which commemorate important people and events in South Africas history.

Gold coins: one of the most liquid investments available

Unlike shares and property, gold is a liquid investment that can be converted into money almost instantly. Because the value of gold coins can easily be determined by looking up the current gold price, you can sell your gold coins to almost any gold coin retail store provided that you have kept them in excellent condition. However, it must be noted that while you can buy and sell gold coins often, storing them for prolonged periods of time before selling them provides greater returns than if you were to buy and sell them frequently.
