10. Does the price of gold effect the value of my SA rare coins?

This is the greatest misconception that investors have concerning SA rare coins. They think that they are tied to the metal that they are made of. Our country’s most rare coin ‘The Single 9’ is worth more than US $3 000 000, but its gold content is worth a mere US $100. Therefore, the metals’ prices have no influence on any of the rare coins in our market.

This is a gold bar is valued by the present gold price. Rare coins’ values are driven by
their small numbers (rarity) and not their metal content or values.
