Gold bullion various years different prices

[Oystonousted]

Hi all

I notice that various bullion coins of different years including kangaroos and krugerrands sell for different prices.

When selling back to the dealer they tend to offer just one price to buy back. 

Do I take it people like to collect indicidual years to complete sets? Otherwise if you just want to buy purely for investment purposes is it best just to buy the lowest premium gold coins eg krugerrands?

Thanks for any input

I was going to answer this earlier but there's a lot of caveats to say after every point so it's tough 

Sometimes bullion coins can have numismatic value beyond their precious metals content but a dealer is only going to pay you for the PM's, so if a coin has numismatic value it's better to sell on a platform with collectors 

People do indeed collect date runs of things

There's loads of youtube videos talking about different coins, the longer you're in the hobby the more you will naturally learn

 sorry, they were specific questions and I gave a specific answer.

Yes, people like to collect individual years to complete sets.

Yes, if you just want to buy purely for investment purposes, it is best to buy the lowest premium gold coins e.g. krugerrands.

'I notice that various bullion coins of different years including kangaroos and krugerrands sell for different prices.'

This part confused me however, I am not aware that different year krugs sell for different prices.

Wait....I feel like a right knob now.
