    From Apmex.


    2017 South Africa 1 oz Silver Krugerrand Proof



    • Product Details


    This is the first Proof Silver Krugerrand minted by the South African Mint. Celebrate 50 years of the Krugerrand by purchasing the first Silver Krugerrand.

    Coin Highlights:


    • Contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver.
    • Comes in a box and with a certificate of authenticity.
    • Mintage of only 15,000 pieces.
    • Obverse: Likeness of Paul Kruger, South Africa’s first and only president, along with “South Africa” in Afrikaans and English.
    • Reverse: A Springbok antelope, the national animal of South Africa, along with the year of minting, face value and Silver weight. A small privy stamp of the number 50 in a circle is above the antelope.
    • Minted at the South African Mint.

    I don't think ximmy is making a bad buy. Hasn't ximmy been a good buying indicator for collectable coins? It's almost a "hey dumbasses, don't forget" post, not going to mention the gloating part.

    Ximmy is making a speculative play. The silver content is almost irrelevant to the price of the round. The thing is, this round has a high entry price. So very few will buy this coin; mainly hard core collectors. Will it go up in value? Depends on the mintage.

    Agreed, as usual she's one step ahead of the rest of us!

    I'm investing in these:

    Ximmy might be right about this one, with only 15K mintage. Hang on to them for a few years, and see what happens. The gold krug is one of the most widely known coins ever minted. Little brother silver Krug, with only 15K of them first year, might play out nicely for Ximmy.
    life is good.

    Bullion is only meant to be collected, so that it can be ground into the dirt out front.
