I have no specific info. The only years I have seen run from 1974 - 1983.
Take care,

I don't have any info about the ban but I do know it is tough to find 1973 Krugerrands. I have been looking for a while and the only place I can find then have been occasionally on ebay and they often go for more than I am willing to pay above spot. I'll be trying to get one during this dip.

SG, a Krugerrand is a Krugerrand is a Krugerrand. They all weigh 1.0909 troy ounces gross (33.93 grams including the alloy), 1 ounce net fine gold content, regardless of the date. Over the years I have seen these of every date from 1967 through 1984. Later dates are scarcer because of the Apartied ban of the 80s. Dates before 1974 are scarcer, but still seen on a regular basis. I've seen a few date sets put together, but they are still just bullion unless you start dealing with the proof issues. Even though the gold restrictions were lifted in 1974, don't forget that freed up the importation of EARLIER dates too, not just those minted after that date.
