[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1532820, member: 4373"]The prices of the Soviet coins are mainly to do with the years, varieties and condition as well. Most of the aluminum-bronze coinage struck before 1957 in particular before 1940s are now worth a fair bit in XF plus. On the other hand, with the nickel coinage, 1942-1944 usually command a lot higher because of the difficulty of obtaining planchets. Silver coins on the other hand survived very well (perhaps of people hoarding?) with the exception of the 1922 ruble. This is worth a bit. From 1961-1991, most coins are usually not worth a lot with the exception of coins struck from 1965-1975. The smaller denominations are still easy to find in nice condition however the larger denomination from 5 kopek onwards could pose an interesting challenge. In particular, 1970 coins are the toughest with a few key dates (5, 15, 20, 50 kopek). In the late 1990-91, there are some coins with and without mintmarks - these would be mint errors but did circulate. Again, this is a really quick run down of some of the tougher coins but is no means the most complete.[/QUOTE]
