A site I found that will help value your coins.... ie, the 1994 five rand coin I found last night is worth about  13 rand. Hope this site helps you

Rather keep them there is a lot of wolfs that will pay u peanuts for them then it is actuly worh money,the thoughts that runs through your mind each time you are looking at it is more valuble sorry my eng is not good,sell them when you realy need to don't advertise them on junkmail ect rather go to the sa munt the have poeple that give you the value off it or will make you an offer,but keep them as long as posible or even better pass them on to your children and get them into the hobby

Got a similar collection. Though not high in value, I would rather keep it for my son till he grows up. The age means more than the money at this stage.

ThanKs Boertjie

I've decided to collect and get more coins, found a nice antique shop that sells coins. So I will definately be building up the collection and keep them. Only reason wanted to sell was this scammer offered me waaaay more than other wolfs as you say so took the chance......Lucky we managed to corner him so bad I think he didn't want to blow that it was a scam.  Made it impossible to get robbed, and also impossible that he can stop the payment process or.....be able to give us fake a fake payment!

Thanks, I still want to try get some info how to grade the coins some are in mint condition and others is what I've found in the ground...lol

Maybe this will help a bit Stevo or at least give you a fair indication. Obviously there is more involved than what meets the eye.
