    Krugerrands are subject to CGT.
    You need Britannias or sovereigns.
  • Information on investing in Krugerrands very informative. How safe is it to buy Krugerrands on e-bay.

    As safe as buying any other collectable coin?
  • The only thing that matters is the weight of the coin.
    Choose the right gold bullion buyer and you will get the London am or pm fix of the day.
    There are dealers in London that will sell Krugerrands at 3% above spot and buy at spot.
    There are others that buy at 98% of spot or better if you are selling quantities.
    The premiums on other coins can be 6 to 8% but 1 oz Krugerrands are for some special reason lower.
