<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1950891, member: 26302"]Doug claims gold tones, other, (including me), claim impurities in gold coins like silver or copper can tone or create "spots", and gold coins can acquire a atmospheric "haze' on them that washes off, but the gold itself does not tone. So, I would say its possible for an older krugerrand to look a little darker or have copper spots, but it should look very similar to new ones. If you have a krugerrand and it appears much more goldish in color than your others, that would make me nervous. Krugerrands are a dark coin, that is how every one I have ever seen looks like. At this point, you could spend the $40 or whatever and send it into ANACS for authentication. You are not worried about grade, (and for grade ANACS is not as accepted as NGC/PCGS), but for authenticity I believe ANACS is as good as any of them. It would be $40 well spent if it let you sleep at night knowing you are not holding a fake gold coin, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
