Five Rands creating a BIG buzz.............!!!8-)

Does anyone have any idea how much the 1994 inauguration R5 coins are worth. I have held on to a few of them.

a lot of the older coins become worth more purely on their metal content...(I think)

Can anyone remember The Sunday Times article about a pot of gold accidentally falling into the mint of 1990 10c coins? I collected a glass full of those 10c coins and then the kids raided it and spent it....

i have sold two proof ones on open auction - biborbuy - for r1450 and r1680 in the last month and there were many others that got similar prices - I often get calls(at least once per week) from people who have between 20 to 50 of them that they collected in their change - Unless graded you can expect between R20 to R80 for them on auction if you are lucky

read an article on news24 on dstv guys are selling the R10 note that are still in circulation for $2.49 guys must be crazy to buy and saw there is a set of all the mandela note for $94.95 this is on ebay.

I took 5 coins back to them in Oct 2010 still waiting for them to be sold.I paid R3500 for the 1st 2 and then got a call from a trader there saying some estate wanted to get rid of there coins paid R1900 each for the other 3.How can they not sell the coins in 3 years I really believe they a bunch of scamsters.
