Welcome to Eastgate Coins – the specialist dealer for stamps and
Krugerrands
in Johannesburg
With over 30 years’ experience, we have developed a solid reputation as a trustworthy and reliable source for buying and selling Krugerrands and other gold coins.
Krugerrands offer a safe, secure long term investment due to their composition of 22 carat gold. Coins cannot be made of pure gold as they would be too soft, so the Krugerrand contains 1 ounce of pure gold, but the gold coins themselves weigh a little over – this allows for other metals to be added to provide the hardness required for forging into gold coins.
The Kruger Rand was named after Paul Kruger – who features on one of the gold coin’s faces – and the inspiration for portable and easily liquidated assets caught on quickly. Gold has always offered a unique way to hold value, as it cannot be manufactured and therefore ‘Kruger Rand’ gold coins are accepted as a global form of currency – with a universal value linked to the gold index.
Krugerrands and Gold coins have proved a smart investment over time, with gold prices increasing year on year consistently. At Eastgate Coins we offer fantastic prices on gold coins including Krugerrands.
The cost of Kruger Rands will fluctuate with the market value of gold, so buying gold coins can prove to be an exciting investment opportunity. Most Krugerrands are bought and kept as a long term investment, partly because they will almost certainly give a high return on investment, and also as a completely independent form of currency as gold coins are easily liquidated in times of need.
At Eastgate Coins we have Kruger Rands and gold coins available at all times, and we’re also the only name you need for stamps and stamp supplies too. With a range of stock-books, binders and supplies for gold coins too, our professional and expert team can offer any help and advice you need for all of our products.
