2021 South Africa Silver Krugerrand – NGC MS70 First Day of Issue (Ed Harbuz Signed Label)
- Total graded MS70 with Ed Harbuz South Africa Flag Signature: 2,099 coins
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.
