Silver Showpiece!

This is the new 2017 Silver Krugerrand. I paid a fortune for it even though it has a mintage of 1 million. This is the first time South Africa has released its famous Krug in silver and I wanted one badly!

I went back and forth on whether I should pay such a premium for this but f#$k it I treated myself. U can see in the photo above it has a laser engraved 50 on it to celebrate 50 years of the Krugerrand coin. In the photo below it'll disappear..

There's also a proof version of this coin but it's crazy expensive.. so I'm happy with this :) I wasn't sure what the coin would look like in hand but once I saw it I was happy with my purchase. It really looks like a high premium coin and its pretty cool to have a silver Krug after looking at the gold ones for so long

It came in a felt pouch with coa detailing the history of the coin. U can zoom if you'd like to read the details..

I'm always happy when I receive my silver shipment in the mail. I'm not one for collectibles, but the silver Krug is, indeed, a beautiful coin. Plus, the "50" engraving that vanishes at certain angles is a great additional feature that helps prove authenticity. Nice purchase!

Thx for checking out my post! Appreciate it 👊😎

You're welcome!

Congrats, I treated myself also. . .
Silver Krug ... after 50 years.... instant collectible....

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how these d They are still available at most retailers so they didn't sell a million yet haha ..either way I'm glad to add this to my stack. Thx for looking

That's a really nice coin. I must have missed the news that they were releasing the coin in silver :( Good purchase and an awesome addition to your stack. Looks great for a premium BU, I bet the proof looks amazing! I will be keeping my eyes peeled for one of these to go on sale in New Zealand.

You can still find them at alot of major retailers. Thx for checking out my post, I appreciate the upvote action 🙌

Very nice coin! I've tried, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on the silver Krug! I'm happy that you got what you have been desiring, but I guess I really should just follow my own intuition. Enjoy my friend! Its beautiful!

Thx jangala for stopping by. U have the best night my man 👊😎

Very beautiful, but I couldn't do it. Price was too steep. I actually got people calling me about it (forgot which company)

I smell a price drop soon

I think by the end of this year it's either going to hit $12 or $20

U smoking that shit again? Lol no way

Why not? What are your thoughts for end of the year?

Oh u meant spot price I thought u meant the retail price of the Krug..I do t know much cept I hope it stays this low for awhile so I can keep buying cheap silver 🙌

a cool coin to have in a collection. I got one of the proofs for £125 with 5 payments of £25, still have 2 payments but glad i added it to the stack, dont have a BU yet as they are also expensive.

The proofs are going up like crazy. Good pick

This looks so damn awesome!! 😍 😍 😍

It's definately a nice piece. Thx for checking it out 👊😎

I got mine right away, premiums be damned. Haha, boy was I bummed when they dropped the price down on them! That being said I am still very pleased with my purchase (except how the coin came out of the capsule during shipment)! It's a stunning coin and really shows how detailed mints can be this day in age. Truly a keeper! Thanks for sharing, GA!

There could be another price drop too as I see alot of the dealers still have the in stock. Idc tho I paid a premium to be one of the first to behold this specimen lol

These are so nice, another one I've been hesitant on, but I do really want to get one eventually.

Your patienceay pay off? I think we will see another price chop on em soon

they look a nice coin but the premium is just way too high! maybe someday!

Thanks for popping in and taking a look! Have a great day!

There are certain thing , we want you all to be aware.

The Krugerand looks good. I've seen prices falling and I'll get one when the price isn't triple spot or more. I can wait. I don't get wound up about these things anymore. I do really like your collection of Canadian coins even if the RCM prices everylast cent that piece will ever be worth into the initial offering. Unfortunate really.
