1970 was the highest mintage to date. There were 221018 ounces of Gold Krugerrand minted. The SA Mint minted 10000 1970 Proof Krugerrand.
All Proof Krugerrand should be supplied with an SA Mint box, an SAGCE enclosure, or be Slabbed certified from NGC or other certificate slabbing company. There was no COA Certificate of Origin certificates supplied in 1970.
It can be very difficult to remove the Proof Krugerrand from the SAM box. The best way is to cup your hand and "slap" the box into the cupped hand. Only touch the Proof Krugerrand with soft cloth gloves.
In years to come these Krugerrand will be extremely rare. A full set would be very difficult to accomplish.
