Thread: South African Gold Coins

Hi,

I recently came into possession of a few South African coins (8g each) as well as a Munich '72 Olympic coin (16g). A while back I visited a reseller who offered me $200 each for the 1/2 ounce coins and $700 for the Olympic coin. I would highly appreciate your take on the worth of these coins, which are posted on my album. If there is any further helpful I can provide please let me know. Many thanks!

good information dave!!

Thanks Dave. Your response is much appreciated, and thanks for welcoming me.

So am I correct in concluding, from your reply, that there is little or no collector value in any of my coins, even for the Olympic coin? Thanks for noting the troy ounce issue as I was ignorant to that fact.

And is anyone aware of the gold percentage in the Munich '72 Olympic coin?

Thank you in advance.

Dave,

Here are some larger pics. Apologies for the poor quality as I can't take new pictures this moment. Anyhow, I hope this helps a bit.

Again, many thanks for your time and assistance.
