    I was cleaning my room and found these Russian bills and want to know if they are worth anything at all
    value: year x how many of these I have
    1 rubl: 1898 x23
    3 rubl: 1905 x10
    5 rubl: 1909 x37
    10 rubl: 1909 x2
    25 rubl: 1909 x3
    100 rubl: 1910 x1
    250 rubl: 1917 x1

    we would really need to see images or scans. especially with sig combos :) Values vary widley based on condition and even the signatures. I dont have my books with me, so i dont know if the notes you have listed do have differemnt signatures with different values, but i figured i would mention it anyway :)

    nothing worng with the quality :) we can see the notes :D

    I just got to work, so i wont be able to look up values until later. But, i really like them lol

    as for the 2 notes with the same serial number... i dunno. Is it possible 1 of them is a fake? Or did they routinely do this on Russian notes back then. The suffix numbers look the same, so its not that the note belong to a different series .... I will have to wait to see what soemone else (who is usually smarter then me :p) pops in to comment.

    I know nothing about old Russian notes, but...two letters and three digits would allow for rather few possible combinations. Therefore, my suspicion is that these are something other than serial numbers, perhaps batch numbers of some kind.

    Now, one of your notes of that same design does have an eight-character string instead, but it's in a different typeface and that note has different signatures. So perhaps the whatever-they-are were replaced by actual serial numbers in later printings.

    Wild guess, but it's the best I got. :cool:
