Tried to collect one of each that features the Russian Tsars / Tsarinas. Much easier said than done to be honest - give it a shot if you think it's doable. Just missing three but all of them are pricy in any condition - Peter II, Ivan III and Alexander II. http://www.gxseries.com/numis/rus_imperial/tsars.htm Yes, I could just change it and feature coins that were struck under different eras but that's too easy - big mistake. Maybe you got coins that I don't have out of those three? Hope you like it.
Rather respectable collection, I bet expensive too. I am extremely happy about the fact I do not collect Empire, only Soviet with some additions from last tsar and early Russian issues (1991-1994).
:smile My humble Russian collection, such as it is. https://picasaweb.google.com/Ripley44mag/RussianAndEasternEurope?authuser=0&feat=directlink
Very nice while i have coins from Commonwealth of Independent States, personally haven't gotten into collecting many modern issues from Russia since i found them little expensive in secondary markets due to strong overseas demand.
