A copolymer is prepared by graft-polymerizing 20 to 40% of an aromatic vinyl compound and 1 to 20% of a vinyl cyanide compound onto 50 to 70% of conjugated diene rubber latex having a solids content of 30 to 65% by weight, coagulating the latex by adding 0.04 to 0.27 parts by weight of a first nonionic polymer coagulant, and 0.47 to 1.65 parts by weight of a second cationic polymer coagulant or 0.73 to 3.35 parts by weight of a second anionic polymer coagulant to 100 parts by weight (based on solids) of the prepared graft copolymer latex. When the second coagulant is the cationic polymer coagulant, the total weight of coagulant is 0.7 to 1.7 parts by weight, and when the second coagulant is the anionic polymer coagulant, the total weight of coagulant is 0.97 to 3.37 parts by weight.
