1975 had nearly 5 million Bullion Krugerrand minted. There were very few Proofs minted in 1975, only 5600 were produced. This was the smallest mintage to-date for the 1975 Proof Krugerrand. As it was the first year that Americans could hold Krugerrand, the market was very large.
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 1975.
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.
