<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValD, post: 78642, member: 4409&quot;]Yeah, you&#039;re right it&#039;s a 14k (Au585).&nbsp; I guess I just really wanted it to be 24k <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m Russian myself so I knew exactly what I was buying - </p><p>It&#039;s a 1991 Ballerina (or Bolshoi Theatre) commemorative coin.&nbsp; The face value is 50 Rubles or 5 times that of the Chevronetz, which is 10 rubles.&nbsp; And yes, it&#039;s a USSR coin, made just before its fall.&nbsp; It also says &quot;7,78&quot;, which I guess means it has 7.78 grams of pure gold.&nbsp; Any idea as to its worth?</p><p><br /></p><p>I admit I got really lucky on this find.&nbsp; The seller obviously didn&#039;t know what he was selling, but also I felt there wasn&#039;t much interest in Russian gold (this was on ebay).&nbsp; For instance, I was also going to buy some gold from late Tsar era dating sometime between 1880 and 1905.&nbsp; Those always seemed underpriced ($45-$70) and I figured they were bad investments.&nbsp; This was all years ago - I haven&#039;t been that much into gold ever since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
