The Hook: The Coin That Invented the Modern Bullion Market
The Story: First struck in 1967, the Krugerrand became the coin that established the entire modern bullion-coin category — the first gold coin minted specifically as a practical, tradeable store of wealth rather than circulating currency. This 1979 example dates to the peak of the 1970s gold rush, when demand for the Krugerrand was at its historic high.
The Object: 1 troy oz gold coin, 22-karat gold alloy (91.67% fine, alloyed with copper for durability — the Krugerrand's standard composition since 1967). PCGS certified Mint State 68 — an exceptional survival grade for a coin minted expressly to be handled, stacked, and traded as bullion rather than preserved.
The Curation: Encapsulated by PCGS, archivally stored, certification independently verifiable.
The Case & The Acquisition: For the hard-asset collector who wants the single most internationally recognized and liquid gold bullion coin in the world, in a condition almost none of its contemporaries achieved. Offered at $4,950.
