<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 1151539, member: 21773&quot;]The problem with SCWPM is that the values in there for Russian notes are significantly inflated and don&#039;t represent the true cost of them. The book is an excellent cataloguing/research source for the types of notes printed, but reality is very different for those notes. For example, an example I remember off the top of my head: a year ago, I bought two UNC 1 Rouble 1947 notes for $6 a piece. The book lists them at $15 a piece, and I&#039;ve never seen them go for anything above $10.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the 1898 Pleske 1 Rouble note, the catalog lists it at $20 for good condition. But, lower end conditions are a dime a dozen (metaphorically) - it&#039;s the XF, aUNC, and UNC that bring in the big bucks. I got my 1898 1 Rouble Pleske for my personal condition in a VF (solid note, semi-crisp, just has lots of folds - but much better condition than the one in this photo), and paid a mere $5 for it. But the values on these fluctuates +/- a few dollars depending on how many collectors you have bidding who are still missing that signature from their collection (there are 4 different ones, plus 1 extra serial variation from 1915).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
