So I found my first gold coin, a 1991 S. African gold krugerrand. My question is, do I send this out to have it "graded" and if so where? I can't believe my luck. I'm heading back to the area today.

Here it is. I can't get a picture to come out clear.

+1 on the WOW!

I wouldn't know what to do if I found one. Makes me wonder ... how did someone lose their krugerrand? If only that coin could talk!

What size? 1 oz = 33mm diameter
half oz = 27mm
quarter oz = 22mm
tenth oz =16mm

The weights are 22 Karat gold!

You can figure out how much it is worth for its gold.

I don't know numismatically; could be more.

Nice find--a 1/10 of an ounce--that's a bit over 3 grams. That would make a nice little nugget find--nicely done.

All the best,

Lanny
