How much is Mandela's birthday coin worth?

Answer 1

Good question! I assume you are referring to the South African R5 Mandela coins. There are quite a lot in issue and some people have cottoned onto the idea of grading the coins and thus sell them for thousands. I would suggest they are worth only face value, as it is still legal tender in South Africa. And if you are looking to collect one or two as memorabilia, then by all means do so. If I had to buy one, as I am not in South Africa, I would say $8 at most. I hope that helps.
