African Coins

Edward the Eighth, who served as King for less than a year, had his name (although not his portrait) on only the 5 Cents and 10 Cents coins from East Africa. The value of the 5 Cent Coin is perhaps a dollar or two in nice circulated condition and US$5.00 or so in Uncirculated condition, with Proof examples running at about US$150. The value of the 10 Cents coin is similar, although without a mintmark (an "H" or "KN") the range would be about $3-6 and $25 or so (and $150-$300 in Proof). A rare example of the the 10 Cents coin exists in Copper-Nickel (almost all are bronze) and would be quite valuable.

If the mintmark is "H", it is worth between 50 cents and $22.80. If the mintmark is KN, then it is worth between $1.50 and $54. In the future please include the condition of the coin so I can value it more precisely for you.

About 925.00 to sell it as of today, and 950.00 or so to buy it. Call a dealer and ask them or look them up on Google. Dealers are going to mark them up if you are buying. Remember that the stronger the underlying price in gold the stronger the coin market is. A coin is different than just having mass produced gold cause they are harder to find. Collectors buy them up.

The Krugerrand is a bullion coin containing exactly 1 troy oz. of pure gold alloyed with 8.33% copper (22 karat). Krugerrands have some, but little, numismatic value (added value due to the condition or rarity of a coin). Generally, they are worth about what the spot price for gold is at the moment. The buy price is generally 2 or 3 percent higher than spot when buying from a dealer. A dealer will probably offer you 2 or 3 percent below spot to buy the coins from you. There are many web sites that display the spot price of gold in real time. See Related Link, below.
