2021 South Africa Silver Krugerrand – NGC MS70 First Day of Issue (Ed Harbuz Signed Label)

The Silver Krugerrand debuted in 2017, and this 2021 issue comes within five years of that first year. By comparison, earlier-date American Silver Eagles in MS70 often command premiums of $1,200+ each!

The 2021 Silver Krugerrand marks a continuation of one of the world’s most respected coin series. With only 2,099 coins graded MS70 First Day of Issue with the Ed Harbuz label, this is a low-population, top-quality collecting piece with both numismatic and silver value. The combination of perfect MS70 grade, F.D.I. designation, and hand-signed label makes it a standout addition to any collection.
