2009 Krugerrands
At the time of writing (March 2009) the majority of bullion dealers have been struggling to source one ounce bullion Krugerrands. We believe there are a couple of reasons for this; the first being that physical demand for gold appears to have increased this year; secondly due to the August slowdown , but also Lemming-like behaviour from "investors" completely blind to any other one ounce gold bullion coins.
Due to the increased demand one of our suppliers - a major European bank - ordered 10,000 pieces of 2008 Krugerrands from the Rand Refinery, and after a few months they had only received 2,000 coins from their order. We had been hoping to get some of their spare coins, but the deliveries remained in backlog for the rest of the year, and into 2009.They expected to receive the second part of this shipment towards the end of October, which is when we expected to receive our first shipment. This never materialised.
Not since the Year 2000
This will be the first time since the year 2000 that we will have been able to source one ounce bullion Krugerrands in the year that they were minted. In fact we still haven't seen bullion Krugerrands for the years 2005-2007 inclusive, although we have had 2007 Proof Krugerrand Sets in stock, along with a few other dates.As we are having to source these coins from the primary market they are obviously costing us slightly more than they would on the secondary market, so our prices will have to reflect this. However, we are still offering them at our usual competitive prices compared with other dealers.
Official UK Distributor
We have just reached an agreement in principle, for us to receive direct supplies of new Krugerrands from the source, the Rand Refinery in South Africa, as their sole UK distributor. We expect to start receiving direct shipments during May 2009. From then, these may be added to our list of " Our Choice " one ounce gold bullion coins.Prices & Availability
