[QUOTE="vtvick777, post: 1544543, member: 28910"]I just received this set of coins for my birthday. I received it as a gift from a family member, solely for the silver content, with permission to sell it and get something that fit more with my current collection. There are (2) 10 Roubles, and (4) 5 Roubles. I think I have most of the information about this set, and would just like to confirm that information. Here is what I know : These coins were minted both as uncirculated and proof sets. I am 99% sure mine is the proof. I read that all the coins are 90% silver with the 10 Roubles having 0.9635 oz. of silver and the 5 Roubles having 0.4823 oz. of silver. All of them have mintages of around 122,000. For people who have seen these coins before, does that information sound correct? Also, do the proof and uncirculated strikes both have the exact same percentage and amount of silver? Finally, the only 2 sets like the one I received that sold on eBay sold for $160 and $188, but they were both the uncirculated sets. What do you think mine would be worth if it is proof?
