Did these appear in the mint sets? My '91 mint set has the mintmarkless 20k that's supposed to be so valuable, I believe. They list only one price for a '91 mint set with no mention of errors.

 

That's the one cladking. That alone should be worth more than the thousand dollar mark. Would you have a photo of it? Nice catch! By the way, which mint set was it in? Leningrad? Moscow?

 

I don't know anything except what's in Krause. When I was sure that Krause was reporting it at a high price it went in my safety deposit box. Krause lists only a single mint set made this year. If memory serves it's Leningrad mint.

 

cladking - I am certain I can think of at least 4 different mintset packaging, two from Moscow and another two from Leningrad Mint. While Krause might not be right on this one, the price certainly applies to the rare coin that you have mentioned. Otherwise all mintsets on ebay should be more than what they are asking or going for!

Last question cladking - from your memory, was it in a hard plastic case or in a soft plastic sheet? They came in two different packaging. If it is in a soft plastic sheet, you might be able to inspect the edge of the 50 kopek and 1 ruble coin. They are known for wrong year dates on the edge as well.

 

Yes. It is Leningrad Mint.

 

Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic.
50 kopeks 1922.

 

USSR.
5 kopeks 1931 & 1955.

 

After viewing the photos and reading some of the commentaries in this thread, I have come to realize that I need more Soviet coins.

Thanks for posting all these photos everyone!

 

No, not really. Just move along, nothing to see here.:devil:

 

About 6-7 years ago I was cruising eBay and found a 1991 collection of proof and unc coins entitled "The End of an Era...The Fall of The Soviet Union" (perhaps some of you have seen this set). I don't collect foreign coins much, but I liked this set. All the coins are in airtites and housed in a very nice black wooden display chest. I won it for $47 . The coins are all Cupro-Nickel (I thought). I later learned that two (2) of the coins contain a small amount (4.67 grams) of gold. That's about $265 worth of gold at today's prices (about $45 then).

I'm still looking for the coins so I can post some pictures. The set contains a total of Twenty-one (21) coins...

1 Ruble Prokofiev: 2,100,000

Update: I just found the coins and see that I missed a few. There are also four (4) additional 1991 business strike coins; the first coins struck by the new Russian government. They are 1991 50 Kopek and 1, 5, 10 Ruble coins. They were only struck in December 1991. I don't know how many were minted, but I imagine quite a few were made.



Update2: I was having trouble lighting these coins...then my battery gave out. This is the best I can do at the moment.

 

It's the hard plastic case and very similar to the older Soviet mint sets.

 

Think these were not shown in previous posts:
