<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2501373, member: 56370&quot;]Nice set!&nbsp; Those coins don&#039;t seem to show up in OGP that often.&nbsp; From what I have observed a lot of the cupronickel pieces are impaired due to not being well taken care of.&nbsp; Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could chime in, but it is my understanding that the silver pieces mostly went abroad for hard currency while the base metal pieces were collected domestically.&nbsp; My first trip to Russia was only two years after the fall of the USSR, and at that time the souvenir markets were filled with base metal commemoratives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even some of those went abroad as Scottishmoney observed.&nbsp; For example, I have a mint set that was sold in the US by Pandaamerica as it has a COA from that company.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
