<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1230506, member: 12789&quot;]And Soviet era commemorative coins are not prohibited to leave country.&nbsp; Coins and other objects older than 50 years old can be seized in customs - laws have prevented &quot;antiques&quot; from leaving USSR and Russian Federation for a long time.&nbsp; Really the only way to get older stuff is to find someone that knows someone, because obviously lots of good coins come out of Russia all the time - so there must be exception for export licenses etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins from the earlier era are best bought outside of Russia, because prices will be lower in North America than they are in Russia.&nbsp; I collect USSR and Russian coins myself, and try to find them in N. America instead because there is less collector interests and prices are lower.&nbsp; In the former USSR the prices at coin meets are usually too high, and sellers not very motivated to sell at what I am willing to pay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
