and can anyone identify this one?
...

 

it didnn't wanna post this side

 

I Would greatly appreaciate help identifying this coin that my woman got for me at a yardsale...

 

10 ruble 1991.
1 ruble 1967 commemorative - 50th revolution anniversary.

Both worth right about $0 in this condition. These coins in UNC can be purchased for $2-4 USD each.

To identify and value coins you got the "What's it Worth" section.

 

thank you (2nd coin was the question) and didn't ask value or for grading but thank you again as for location, the coin fit the specific topic so i added it with the rubles. Lastly, and with all due respect, while I am new here obviously by my post count, i don't think i need a chat cop to tell me where to post my every question

 

You were, of course, unavailable for a simple search on eBay for these very common coins to identify them yourself, and you did not really care about the fact these coins were posted in this very thread already, with explanations. I can see it now.

You definitely had the right to ask your questions, no doubt. Although, as you mentioned, you are new here, you obviously do not need any help with posting related issues or how to pick the right thread/category for your posts. My mistake, I just thought you`re someone else, that's all. Honestly.

 

AWESOME coin, hard (and expensive) to find in much lower grade than this. Here`s a couple of later types:

 

Not coinage but a 50 year old note. :thumb:

 

If we can show also notes...

Spoiler on what I am working on:

Finished mine some time ago, I wish I didn't, it was a lot of fun. At least I can pick an upgrade from time to time now.

 

I was in city of Magadan when those first were released into circulation in 1991 - immediately they were a lot of money, the previous 100 rublei notes had been called in and demonetised earlier. When you spent these people really looked at them closely. Very quickly inflation made them worthless.

 

These sets were made for foreigners, not many people could own them in USSR then or even knew about them:

 

:rollling: Scotishmoney how much was one of these worth back in 1991 ??? Must of been hard times.

 

They did not come out until after USSR, but the State Bank was still issuing notes into 1992. In summer 1991 the ruble was 33:1 to the US dollar, but by a year later maybe 90-100:1. Inflation was really bad and government was not keeping up with pay. By then many Kombinats were not even getting funds from government, so they pay workers in toilet paper, bread and make them have to somehow trade it for goods they needed. One of my friends was air hostess for Aeroflot then one of the Babyflots and only got paid for 1991-2 wages in 2008.

 

Well since you started talking about 1992 and Kombinats and bread and whatnot, here is a 3 rub. I picked from post office yesterday. I`m done with copper-nickel coinage so from time to time I`m trying to get early comems from 1992-1994 (they are very expensive, for some reason).

This coin is a bit more special because it shows the "Standing To Death square" sculpture from Mamayev Kurgan complex, and on the background there is the "Motherland Calls" sculpture that is, of course, familiar from the comem. 1975 1 ruble. This coin is not Soviet, but what it shows definitely is.
