I have been looking to collect coins from the third reich era of Germany because I find that time in history quite amazing. Another era I find amazing is the Soviet era. Does anyone know of any websites or books out there that are specific to collecting Russian coins from 1918-1991? I would like to look into these as well. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   12-16-2008, 12:23 AM   #2 (permalink) Ardatirion FVTVE FATVM     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha Posts: 2,663 My Mood: Don't know of any books beyond the general Krause reference. Love the series though, I'd like to do a type set of them some day.

Somewhere in all my sundry stuff I have a bag full of USSR coins that I saved from circulation. Most prized in that bag are the vaunted 2 kopek coins - hoarded and hard to find - because they were the price of a public telephone call. __________________   12-17-2008, 01:05 AM   #5 (permalink) gxseries Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,900 CamaroDMD, is my site not good enough for you? http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Check these links out: Soviet Union year set (1921 - 1957) Soviet Union year set (1961 - 1992) Soviet Ni-cupro commemorative coins (1965-1991) And of course if you are ambitious, you can try to go for the precious metal coins as well: Soviet Silver commemorative coins 1988 - 1991 (in original box + certificate) __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   12-17-2008, 01:32 AM   #6 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,386 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by gxseries CamaroDMD, is my site not good enough for you? http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Check these links out: Soviet Union year set (1921 - 1957) Soviet Union year set (1961 - 1992) Soviet Ni-cupro commemorative coins (1965-1991) And of course if you are ambitious, you can try to go for the precious metal coins as well: Soviet Silver commemorative coins 1988 - 1991 (in original box + certificate) Oh, cool.

The government discouraged coin collecting and almost all of the few collectors were primarily interested in czarist and older coinage. __________________ Tempus fugit   12-17-2008, 11:55 AM   #11 (permalink) gxseries Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,900 I've just added a nice 1924 3 kopek in my collection. The other coins can be real challenge to obtain. For example, one of the key date I have is the 1935 old type 5 kopek. Try and look up the internet for one - prices are totally outrageous. http://www.molotok.ru/search.php?str...=1&country=168 __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
