1971 was the highest mintage to date. There were over 1/2 a million ounces of Gold Krugerrand minted. The SA Mint minted 6000 1971 Proof Krugerrand.
All Proof Krugerrand should be supplied with a 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 1971.
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 Proof Krugerrand will be extremely rare. A full set would be very difficult to accomplish.
