South African Krugerrand gold coin resting between a 1967 handwritten ledger showing a purchase price of $35.00 and a modern smartphone displaying a gold spot price of $4,247 per oz

Why the Krugerrand Has No Face Value — and Why That’s the Point

The South African Krugerrand is the world's first gold bullion coin — and one of its most deliberately designed. Launched in 1967 with no face value by intention, it cannot be debased by monetary policy. Here is how it works, why it was banned, and why nearly six decades later it remains the most liquid gold coin on the planet....

Here is what M2 is, why it grew 55 percent since 2020, and why it tells you something your portfolio never will....

Class 3 Vault: The Two-Hour Attack Standard That Protects Your Gold

A Class 3 vault must withstand more than two continuous hours of sustained attack by professional burglars using power tools and cutting torches.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
