Proof Krugerrand 1987
The Krugerrand Proofs were released as individual 1987 1-ounce Proof Krugerrand, 1/2-ounce Proof Krugerrand in SAM Cases, while the 1/4-ounce and 1/10-ounce Proof Krugerrands were issued together in what was known as a pair SAM case.
From 1987 to 1991, some Proof Krugerrands were minted at Gold Reef City. The initials GRC, which stand for Gold Reef City, are found above the "FYN" in "FYNGOUD."
These coins were minted using the original OOM PAUL Press, which was relocated to the Gold Reef City Mint. A total of 1,650 Gold Reef City Proof Krugerrands were minted in 1987. There were no GRC Bullion Krugerrands minted.

How much is a 1 oz 1987 Proof Krugerrand worth?
Since the value of bullion Krugerrand coins is closely tied to the price of gold, it is difficult to determine the exact price of a 1987 Proof Krugerrand. However, a reasonable estimate for a 1987 Proof Krugerrand would be about 105% of the gold price. It is worth considerably more when part of a fractional Proof Krugerrand set.
