Hi all,

I have found out recently that there are 2 types of 1 Rouble 1924.
the first one has :43.21d on its rim and the other one I don't know.


may I ask some question about it Please:
1. What does 43.21d means?
2. What it says on the other type?
3. How much they costs? Is there a diferent between them? I know that there both Silver, does one of the coin rare then the other?

Thanks in advanced
TQ

1. 43.21 = 4 zolotniks 21 dolyas (parts) = 18 grams of pure silver
2. Exist only one type of edge inscription, see above.
About variants, I's a russian text that I need translation:
a) U koloska sprava odna osti
U koloska sprava dve osti
I don't think that the average collector knows the variants of this coin.

As to the varieties they described in those text, here is the translation:
a. Right ear has one arista
b. Right ear has two aristas
Here are two samples

antikvarius, Just to double check, is this one: one arista?



And this one: double arista?

Thank you all for your replies I have learned alot and still learning!

Those Hi Res pictures are wonderfull and they help to identify the variations of the coin.
Can some one tell me how much this copis should cost?

Thanks
TQ

Now I know!

Yes, the first rouble is with one arista.
As to the cost here is the one that was sold for $385 in UNC - http://www.molotok.ru/item315845608_1_rubl...iya_dorogo.html

Am I crazy lucky for buying that in Moscow for around 10USD

When did you get it? I remember buying it for $10 5 years ago

That's exactly right Antikvarius! - 5 years ago (or maybe 6). I was there at 2002 but left due to the dangerous atmosphere...

It has been a long time since I left Russia and now I'm sure I can't speak a proper sentence in Russian There aren't many Russians here in Australia.

Now, the next question is: which variant is common/rare?

As to the cost it is almost the same. Not too many people know about this difference.

the 1924 rouble costs a lot of money these days if such coin is at least in UNC

You can found the 1924 rouble in F, VF or even XF for much less money

IMHO

here is an example - http://www.coins.su/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22291
sold for ~55 USD

both variations - http://www.coins.su/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10727
sold for ~90 USD (for both)

another one - http://www.coins.su/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11690
sold for 31 USD

but the UNC one - http://www.coins.su/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...924&start=0
sold for ~250 USD

Doomer I can't see the coins that you are showing us
need to be a registered user to this site in oreder to view the coins.

I have tried to register - and could not do it:
there is something wrong with the registretion I think, When there was a bank note picture of 500 value what should I put in?
There are 3 or 4 pictures to register with and I could not to it in each of them Why?

I would be glad to get any help on registration to: http://www.coins.su/forum/

Thanks
TQ

That's funny
I found what you talking about, it is probably new protection because I don't remember such protection when I have registered
I think it is a test for knowing Russian language, in this case I cannot help with registering because it will be violating of rules
The banknote what you talking about is 500 rubles, so you need to type "500 rubles" below the picture but you need to type it in Russian

I can help you with registration, you really have to know Russian to do it
Just send me a personal message to confirm it and what nickname you want to have over there. Later you can change a password by yourself.

Thanks for helping me out!
thanks Antikvarius I'll do that

best regards
TQ
