Pure gold is generally too soft to make jewellery from and is consequently combined with other metals to make different alloys, which in turn alters the colour of the gold. This is why gold jewellery is never made from pure 24k gold but usually from a lesser carat. By alloying gold with different metals it is possible to turn it green, red and white. However, it is worth noting that white gold jewellery is generally not white but rather a shade of grey, which is often plated with rhodium to make it appear white. To produce a white gold alloy gold is mainly combined with nickel and palladium.

Types of white gold jewellery

In recent years, however, it has been discovered that nickel can cause an allergic reaction upon contact with the skin and as a result nickel is used in much smaller quantities and palladium has become the main white gold metal. Other metals such as copper and silver are also used in different amounts in the production of white gold. White gold is used to make a variety of different types of jewellery such as white gold bracelets, wedding rings, necklaces, or earrings and usually comes in 9 and 18 carat. White gold jewellery first became popular in the 1920s as an alternative to expensive platinum jewellery and has become more fashionable in recent times.

Different types of coins

There are two types of coins, commemorative or bullion coins and coins struck for circulation. Generally it is the gold bullion coins that have the highest value. Probably one of the best known gold bullion coins is the South African gold Krugerrand, which was the first gold coin to weigh one troy ounce of 22 carat gold. Other gold bullion coins include the British Britannia and Sovereign, the American Gold Eagle and Austrian Gold Philharmonic. The price of Krugerrands and other gold bullion coins generally depends on the market value of gold. The price may also depend on the age, the number originally produced and the design quality of the coin. Krugerrands are the most popular coins for buyers because they generally have the lowest premium on top of the intrinsic value of the coin. When the Krugerrand was first struck in the 1960s it’s typical premium was 3% whereas other bullion coins of the time like the Sovereign had premiums of around 40%. Since then other mint’s have reduced their premiums to around 10%. Some mints have started to produce silver and platinum coins like American Silver Eagles.

The South African gold Krugerrand coin has been in production since 1967 in an attempt to market South African gold. Depending on the current gold market price, gold coins such as the Krugerrand are worth a lot more than their actual face value. It can be used as legal tender which means that it can be exported to other countries without any taxes on it. The Krugerrand was also the first coin to contain one troy ounce of gold. It was originally sold at 5% premium over the value of the gold, which continues today for orders for over 100 pieces and around 10% for single pieces.

The Krugerrand and other gold coins

American Gold Eagle

The Gold Krugerrand was first produced in the 1967 it was not available in many countries until the mid-nineties because of the ban on South African Products due to Apartheid which ended in 1994. It is reported that since 1967 over 54 million Krugerrands have been produced which roughly works out at 42 million ounces of gold. The South African Mint has since started to mint smaller coins such as the 1/10,1/4 and 1/2 ounce. The one ounce Krugerrands have remained popular with investors due to the low premiums unlike the smaller coins which generally have higher premiums. The gold Krugerrand coin was certainly the first of its kind and led to several other national mints soon following in their footsteps. The American Gold Eagle was first minted in 1986 and was offered in the same denominations as the gold Krugerrand. The American Eagle gold coin prices are generally equal to the current price of gold and the American government actually guarantees the gold weights of the coins and the gold comes solely from American mines. The gold coin features Liberty as designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and is a much more attractive coin than the Krugerrand. The American gold mint also produces Gold Eagles in silver and platinum. The silver and platinum coins have enjoyed similar success to the American gold Eagle since their launch in 1986 and 1997 respectively.

British Britannia

First produced in 1987, the gold Britannia coin weighing one troy ounce has a face value of 100 pounds but its intrinsic value is far greater depending on the current price of gold. The Royal Mint also produces a number of other coins such as the Silver Britannia Coin and the Gold Sovereign Coin. There are a number of other gold bullion coins you can collect such as the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Mexican Libertad, the Chinese Panda and the French Napoleon.

Famous gold coins

Gold coins fall into 2 categories, collectors’ coins and bullion coins. There are many famous types of bullion coin such as the British Sovereign, the South African Gold Krugerrand and the American Silver Eagle coins coins. The oldest of these coins is the British Sovereign which was first issued in 1489 under the direction of King Henry VIII and is still in use today. New sovereigns contain 22ct gold and weigh in at just under 8g, but interestingly the weight and size reduce over time as the coins are used and worn down. However, perhaps the most famous gold coins of all were not British but American and Canadian. The largest gold coin on record was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint weighing 100kg with a value of $1 million. Even more impressively, a 1933 American Double Eagle gold coin sold for over $7.5 million at Sotheby’s in 2002 and is the most valuable coin ever sold.

Collectors Value

Consider collectors Value When Selling gold Coins

Gold bullion coins are normally only valued by the gold content and are an excellent way to make cash for gold. Collector’s coins are slightly different and are not only valuable due to the gold content of the coin, but also due to the date, location and design. You should determine which category your gold coins fall into before selling your gold coins.
