It's from my collection of former Soviet nations. The idea is to get a silver coin from each. Most I bought already slabbed and I want some...
I've had it happen with Maples before but also didn't worry since it was just bullion. Plus those were all recent (for example, I had a 2013 Maple...
This one was a big disappointment. It is part of my ex-Soviet nations set and I sent it in to NGC back in April (delivered 4/28/21). Today...
@yakpoo I stand corrected...above is an example of a lower purity ballerina that you must have been describing in my thread
MS 65 ....a bit blurry but looks nice; older holder, so I will go a bit more conservative
I knew we could count on your love token knowledge LordM!
That's cool but I'm equally stumped. @lordmarcovan any ideas?
Sorry to hear about the long distance; hopefully you will be reunited in the near future. As far as the "another entrant" comment, yes it is a...

Another new entrant to the set, here we have Armenia represented. Coins from Armenia aren't as hard to find since there are plenty of the Noah's...
It's an interesting thing to think about and I agree with you that the RB range is super wide and somewhat arbitrary. Maybe there should just be...
I was thinking it was the same coin but I couldn't match the cheek hit, so I backed off that guess (photo angles played a role and @Beefer518...
First impression was MS 63....65 seems a bit generous
MS 64 ....nice look and one of my favorite designs among the gold commems
Also, nice to see you posting again @lordmarcovan
Pretty much same strategy here to get to vf 25. :p
My guess was going to be MS 66 but I was debating hedging down to MS 65. Looks relatively clean and lustrous. Great deal that you got on that lot!
MS 62 ...given it's a better date and there are plenty of marks/hits (especially on the face), I'm going conservative
Rattlers are more common unless it's the first generation white label (all of them start with 108 in the cert number but not all 108s are white...
