I bought a rather interesting coin. 10 dollars 1985, Republis of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines. "Royal Visit". It"s very rare coin in Russia. But is this coin rare in USA? Or not?
Krause (2010) has mintage figures of 100,000 for the Cu-Ni and 5,000 for the silver. I should imagine it's pretty rare anywhere! Nice buy, whichever one you have.
Siberia? Wow! About 8-10 years ago I was in Las Vegas for the VNEA International 8-Ball Championships, and one of our matches was against a Russian team. I learned that it was their first visit to the U.S., and I asked them what they liked most about Las Vegas. Their reply? The grocery stores! Chris I'm posting these in your honor.
