Just found out my grandmother bought her grandchildren coin sets. I received the 1993 Russian Bear Gold and Silver Proof Set. It has a Gold 100 Roubles proof, Gold 50 Roubles proof, Gold 25 Roubles proof, and Silver proof weighing 31.1 grams. It says 1400 pieces were minted. I am looking to sell this set. How much should I sell this for and where? On ebay? I have no idea what it's worth or what to do with it as I'm not a coin collector.
Unfortunately I'm at work. I can provide photos later today. I can find pictures of the set online. Wikipedia has the set listed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commemorative_coins_of_Russia_(1993) It's the last 5 bear coins, except this set is the 4 coin set, so it does not include the 200 Roubles bear coin. Just the first four there. It looks like the coins have never been opened and it comes with a wooden box. I think cedar.
Condition of coins is what make then worth more.that is were a photo is need. just by using a link as a photo a coin buyer would only offer melt $ for silver + Gold.
I understand. I'll post the photos after work then, so look back in about 6 hours. To my untrained eye they look to be unscathed with no smudges or anything.
On May 20, 2011, a set like this sold on ebay for 2,653.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390313808122+
Krause BV 100 Roubles $950 50 Roubles $475 25 Roubles $200 3 Roubles $230 Keep in mind spot prices have dipped lately so you may not get what you could have gotten 2 months ago.
May be he thought you had 200 Roubles coin, Goldberg auctions sold a Pf68 set with 200 Roubles for $5700. You could get a $2000+ but the crown jewel of this set is 200 Roubles coin. I am not sure the ebay link includes 200 Rouble coin. http://www.icollector.com/Russia-Brown-Bear-Set-Gold-200-100-50-and-25-Roubles-plus-Silver-3-Roubles-1993-NGC-PF66_i11764902 Edited: with correct link and info.
That makes sense. If it included the 200 Roubles and was graded perfectly then 7k would be right. Need to decide to keep or sale....hmm. Also, I really appreciate the help you guys have provided. It's really kind f strangers to provide an honest opinion. The wonders of he Internet.
