1972 had a similar mintage to 1971 with just over 1/2 a million ounces of Gold Krugerrands minted. The SA Mint minted 6625 Proof Krugerrands.
All Proof Krugerrands should be supplied with a SA Mint box, an SAGCE enclosure, or be Slabbed certified from NGC or other certificate slabbing company. There was no COA Certificate of Origin certificates supplied in 1972.
It can be very difficult to remove the Proof Krugerrand from the SAM box. The best way is to cup your hand and "slap" the box into the cupped hand. Only touch the Proof Krugerrand with soft cloth gloves.
In years to come these Proof Krugerrands will be extremely rare. A full set would be very difficult to accomplish.
