I bought this set of of coins in 1983 ..14 of 1oz and 14 of 1/2oz, a total of 28 coins...they are all in proof condition... are there any value over metal price?:headbang: what is their numismatic value,if any? help is appreciated
It's a nice coin set - I own one myself. The weight of the silver coins aren't quite 1/2 oz and 1 ounce. They are .4924 and .9636oz each which comes down to a total of 20.8051 ounce. At current market price, I've seen them going at about 350-450USD but since your coins do have tarnish, it's better to expect them to be closer to the bullion content. There were just a lot of Olympic coins struck.
Check out the prices for them on Ebay, the way all sorts of Russian stuff has gone recently I woudnt be suprised if these are now worth more than melt.
The very first thing you want to do is to check 1978 10 roubles "canoe" and "horse riders". If any of those carry a LMD mintmark, which is very unlikely unless your set is housed in a green box with all 28 coins displayed on a single insert layer, you have a 10,000 dollar coin. Then check 1978 bicycle and 1979 basketball and volleyball 10 roubles to see if they are no mintmark variety. Although none that I have ever came across were found in sets, you might get lucky. Those coins would worth 22,000 to 25,000 each
they are house with a red box with 2 layers for the coins. the mintmark are all the same. this is a larger dpi pic..... many thanks guys for your comments
they are different mintmark from the others. can not read the russian, but definitely different.. there may be an 'm' in the mintmark--not sure? thank you again..all
These are MMD mintmarks. LMD mintmark is the one that has A without the center stroke interwined with M, like on the first pic posted in the thread
