Mandela Birthday Coin on Auction Now!!
Bid starts at R1
The coin is South Africa’s 2008 5 rand commemorating former president Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday. Released into circulation on July 18, 2008, many of the coins soon appeared in the offices of Professional Coin Grading Services and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, two graders favored by South African collectors.
As I write in mid-December, only six examples have been graded as high as MS-68, all by PCGS. Three of these recently sold for R100,000, or about US$10,000, per coin.
