I attach all images of the Red Book Russia set i just bought from Ukraine and will be grateful if you could cast a quick look for authenticity. I will be very grateful as I paid $300. The weights of the Russian Red book all seem to be different . Its 5.81 g for Mountain goat 1992 5R USSR 6.04 gm for Owl 1992 USSR 5 R 6.11 gm for 10 R1992 Russia Siberian Tiger 6.18gm for Gazelle 50 R 1994 Russia The published weight is 5.95 g for all.. These 4 seem to be out of the 1% tolerance limit.. Does it mean they are fakes? Could you compare with your coins, I attach a image of the Siberian Tiger as the edge seems to be damaged... Is it due to faking or damage on rim.All other images are also there Please let me know if the coins are genuine regards Shamik

They look fine to me. Bear in mind that as these are not precious metal coins, there is some weight variance for such coins. As some may think 300 dollars is a bit too much, this is actually the about right price range. Most coins average around 10 - 20 dollars and with 1994 gazelle coin usually sells for 60 dollars.
