What is the value of 1 oz fine gold 1980 south Africa krugerrand in excellent condition?

Answer 1

You are asking about a 1 Krugerrand coin from South Africa (KM#73). The coin weighs 33.9300 grams and is 91.70% gold, giving it an AGW (Actual Gold Weight) of 1 troy ounce (actually 1.0003 troy ounces). The obverse (front) has a portrait of Paul Kruger facing left with the words "SOUTH Africa" to the right and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") to the right. The reverse (back) has an image of a springbok (a South African antelope) with "KRUGERRAND" above, "19" to the left, "80" to the right, and "FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD" below. 3,049,396 such coins were produced in 1980, as well as another 12,000 in Proof (nicer surface, 220 serrations on the edge, as versus 180 serrations for regular krugerrands).

As of May 1, 2013, gold is valued at US$1,457.00 per troy ounce.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, such a coin would be worth the gold value plus 5% in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, and gold value (plus, perhaps, a small premium) otherwise. In Proof condition, the premum over gold value would probably be 10-15%.
