Not too sure what catalogue you are using, but it is a common coin. The best and cheapest reference you should be using for such Imperial Russian coins is Uzdenikov, not Krause. It is listed as number 3159 in the second edition. In fact the mintmaster worked till 1821.
Hi Numinen,
I am sure that many members of this forum can give you a very accurate idea of how much this coin is worth, and of course being a novice, I am not one of them. I find it totally impossible to keep up with the price escalation of Russian coins.
I had a friend once who was an old horse dealer. Whenever asked about the true value of a horse he would say:
"This horse is a great horse, and it's well worth every penny you are WILLING to pay for it."
Perhaps, with the current trend of rising prices, this is a philosophy we should all adopt.
