A friend had it in a necklace/pendant mount and asked if I would investigate. Judging by the pics, I couldn't go higher than AU because I think there is a lot of rub from wearing as a necklace. Having said that, I told her it was worth melt at a minimum, and have found nothing special about the year on ebay searching. Just curious if anyone knows anything to look for or any reason why it would be worth more than melt. Thanks folks. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 9:54 pm Based on the time I spend at dealers, I think they'll give you bullion price. This is particularly true for any mounted bullion coin. The market is currently flooded with excess gold coins, where I've seen even Victoria Sovereigns go for melt--sad but true.

Of course, they are completely legal now but the coin does at least have a history behind it. As a whole, Krugerrands trade closer to bullion value than other government issued and denominated bullion coins and there have been more of them minted than any other gold bullion coin in the world.
