<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1643284, member: 4373&quot;]Thanks everyone for your kind comment. mlov43, to answer your question, grade isn&#039;t really a concern for me as long as the price is &quot;reasonable&quot; or a &quot;bargain&quot;. In particular if it&#039;s a key date, I&#039;m happy to have a low grade coin or a filler. My motto is, as long as I have a tough key date regardless of the condition AND you know it is a baragain, it will always remain to be desirable and I can upgrade it later when I can find one. So far, it has been working for me as I can still sell the key date for what I have paid for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>cladking - I think what most people don&#039;t realize is a lot of Soviet coins struck in between 1965-1975 in particular 5 kopek onwards weren&#039;t really readily available to the public. If you noticed the condition of the coins that I have shown, the 10 kopek coins from 1965 to 1968 appear to be from stripped apart mint sets. Prices of these coins have been rising sharply and are getting harder to find. For instance, one of the rarest key date is the 1970 15 kopek which has been sold for almost 500 dollars - quite hefty in my opinion! </p><p><br /></p><p>My best advice is to keep it simple and not attempt to collect by year because this is insane expensive!!! A type set should be reasonably affordable but not this![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
