Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 5:05 pm Of course, imitation Krugerrands have been made in gold and silver (and base metals) for decades. I am starting to see reputable bullion dealers advertise authentic silver krugerrands issued by the South African Mint. However, I'm not finding any sign of them on the S. African Mint's site. So is there such a thing as an offical Silver Krugerrand? Or are they all just unoffical pieces issued by the "Sunshine Mint," as is stated in this auction? https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-South...Mj:rk:4:pf:0 Edited by Archraz 11/02/2018 5:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 5:27 pm Yes there is. Last year they were collector issues, 2018 is the first bullion silver coin. These are from the South African Mint. I think MCM made an error in the listing. I bought a few of these. Edited by IndianGoldEagle 11/02/2018 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 5:30 pm IndianGoldEagle - Thanks for the info! However, I'm still confused. So is it the case that the South African government contracted "Sunshine Minting" to produce "official" silver Krugerrands? This still just seems kind of odd. Report this Post to the Staff
