Buy Gold Krugerrand




Why Should You Buy Gold Krugerrand?


 

The decision to Buy Gold Krugerrand is always a good one. however, now seems to be a particularly good time to buy, as the world economy is unsettled to say the least. In the United States, the current rescue packages don't seem to be doing the average American any good, and the world economy isn't recovering any quicker.

The easiest way to convert some of your assets into gold is to buy the gold bullion coin, the Krugerrand, that was introduced to the world around 1970. The Krugerrand comes in denominations of ounces of pure gold rather than having a face value assigned to it. The denominations are one ounce, one-half of an ounce, one-quarter of an ounce and one tenth of an ounce of gold. In order to know the value of your gold investment, you can either contact a gold dealer; or check out the internationally quoted gold price per ounce and make the calculations yourself.

One of the best reasons you should purchase Krugerrands is that they are and have always been considered to be a form of wealth preserver, are well recognized and are very liquid. That means that buying and selling them internationally is exceptionally easy to do.

Another reason purchasing Krugerrands is a good idea is that it is one of only a few opportunities to own gold bullion coins. These coins are the best opportunity for the average person to own gold. Others include the Gold American Eagle, the Buffalo Gold and the Maple Leaf. Krugerrands are durable and easy to transport. They are small and are alloyed with a small amount of copper, which is used to harden the coins making them hard enough to resist normal scratches and dents. The softer 24-karat coins and bars require protective packaging. More than fifty-four million Krugerrands have been circulated throughout the world.

This type of investment option is pretty straight forward. Krugerrands are easily authenticated. The price of an ounce of gold is what it is, and gold prices are available for all to see daily. This makes the Krugerrand's value very easily calculated for anyone.

Any bank will take gold as collateral. It is the opinion of many experts that no matter how large or small your assets are, you should have at least ten to twenty percent of your total assets in gold. That will form an emergency fund. Except for cash, this is the only investment that is instantly accessible as money whenever it is needed.
