Hello everyone! A few years ago I bought a 1885 rouble from a finnish antique store (with about $30!)
The coin has allmost full mint luster and quite minimal wear. I wonder what it is worth nowadays. I haven't
seen 1885 roubles that often in auctions.

In the June Hess-Divo sale, this one brought CHF 600 (total approx. $600 incl. 15% buyer's fee). However, most of the other roubles in that auction realized 4-digit prices. I can't say why this one went for so much less ... it looks about the same grade as yours, maybe a little better, but not much. Your coin seems to have a few rim dings, though.
