Did I do ok on the price? Is it true that the Kruggerand is one of the best gold coins to collect. I heard the gold american eagle is good, but that is more $$$ over spot.

KRands are good. You can buy them a bit cheaper, but bear in mind, when you go to sell them, you'll also end up selling them a little cheaper. While very popular when first released, they fell out of fashion years ago as people began to take a dim view of South Africa's apartheid practices, and have never fully recovered.

As long as you stick with the major bullion pieces, such as AGEs, maple leafs, pandas, KRands, etc. you'll do fine. I've been buying this stuff off and on for the last 40 years.
