Won this recently as the poltina that I had in my collection didn't look too great. This was what I had. [img] As you can tell, the side...
Sure why not, you pay face value. If you don't like them, at least you've only lost a bit of time to find if you have anything interesting.
I think you also need to remember that in the early Soviet era, coin collecting was frowned even in the late 1970s. It was pretty much a...
There's just too much coins that floated around since 1967 - a lot of commemorative coins were struck. Metals price rose in the late 1960s and I'm...
I kinda disagree cladking. Collectors finally have a good idea what to pay at least with Russian mint sets. With the economy going pretty bad,...

I have no idea to be honest - I suspect the 1970 15 kopek to be priced higher than ever before. I don't think I'll get it any less than 500...

Take it to paypal / ebay. This is no longer numismatics and this is not the place where you vent your crap on. Requesting this thread to be locked...
It doesn't matter what business you start up - you need a fair amount of capita. 10,000 dollars doesn't get you very far these days, especially if...
