@KSorbo you are up....
And afterwards @Lehigh96 can post the other SLQ he mentioned

 

Making a detour to the dark side with this PCGS 64 example of the first ruble of the USSR. 64’s are averaging around $150 on eBay.

 

$175

 

$260

$145.98

 

375.00 Nice toning.

....I used to have a toned one of these...maybe I'll post it later on

 

Any more guesses before I do the reveal?

 

140

 

For the previous example, the MS67 SLQ, I assumed that the high grade had superior eye appeal already built into the price. That’s probably why everyone guessed low. For my example, being only a 64, most guesses were above the average price for the grade. However, there was no toning premium, and @ddoomm1 nailed it. I stole this one for $143.50. Perhaps due to there being less of a toning premium on world coins?

 

Part of it is that the coin type and rarity of toning on certain issues can influence the price. For instance, Peace Dollars and 1921 Morgans often sell for premiums over what common date similar quality toners would go for because of how unusual they are. I can't speak for the others, but when it comes to Soviet coinage, I'm really shooting from the hip unlike the US market.

 

Interesting coin - the floor is open.

 

Here’s an impulse buy I made last night on eBay. PCGS guide has this common date at $85 in AU50 which is higher than typical examples have been selling for.

 

$95.95

 

$72

 

$65
