<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1537116, member: 4373&quot;]jlblonde - it&#039;s photoshopped. Looks quite neat doesn&#039;t it?

While most 3 ruble coins struck during the Soviet era are around 20,000 to 40,000 each, there are coins that are struck few folds higher yet are worth more. </p><p><br /></p><p>A good example is the bi-metal Chechen 10 ruble coin struck in 2010. Mintage is 100,000 yet if you see prices of them, they hover around the 100 dollar mark, easily more than a typical 3 ruble coin. I guess a better way of understanding the prices is to have an idea of where the demand is coming from. </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I did remember making this page about commemorative Soviet silver coins, not including the Olympic coins.</p><p><a href="http://gxseries.com/numis/rus_new_type/soviet_ag_comm.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gxseries.com/numis/rus_new_type/soviet_ag_comm.htm" rel="nofollow">http://gxseries.com/numis/rus_new_type/soviet_ag_comm.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am missing the Bolshoi Theater silver coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
