Description
1/2 oz Gold Coin (Random)
1/2 Troy Oz of Pure Gold · Sovereign Coin of Our Choice · Lowest Premium
A substantial fractional gold coin of our choice, each containing one-half troy ounce of pure gold. By accepting our pick of the most available sovereign coin — a Gold Eagle, Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, Britannia, or similar — you get a half-ounce of pure gold at one of the lowest premiums available. These are older coins and may show signs of wear, light abrasion, or spotting from handling or long-term storage — not sold as BU. Same pure-gold content, less cost than choosing a specific coin.
