<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2499072, member: 78153&quot;]The worst deal in the history of coin collecting is undoubtedly the South Africa 2008 Mandela Birthday 5R NGC MS-69 (yes, it is a mouthful). The South African Coin Company reportedly sold it about five years ago for the USD equivalent of $338,000 (Rand 2.3MM). </p><p><br /></p><p>At the time it sold, it was one of two in the population report.&nbsp; Today, the combined NGC/PCGS count is 13 with several hundred as a 68 and over 20,000 as a 67.&nbsp; I expect it to ultimately lose at least 99% from this price and even then at a 99% &quot;discount&quot;, it will remain one of the most overpriced coins in the world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
