Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand IRA eligible? It is not currently offered for a precious-metals IRA through Summit Metals; unlike the American Gold Eagle, the 22k Krugerrand is generally not IRS-approved. Contact us for IRA-eligible gold.
How much pure gold does it contain? Exactly 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold (total weight 0.2732 oz / 8.5 g with the copper alloy).
What is the purity? .9167 fine (22 karat), alloyed with copper for durability.
Which year will I receive? A random year of our choice; the design is consistent.
How much is it worth? About one-quarter of the live gold spot price plus a premium.
Why is the premium higher than on a 1 oz coin? Minting costs are spread over less gold, so fractional coins cost a bit more per ounce.
