I am the "criminal" tongue.gif hi.gif

I haven't uploaded these pictures yet but they will come up soon. I am somewhat close in collecting almost all of the Soviet silver coins except for a few commemorative 3 ruble coins (which I think I need another 4 or 5) and uncirculated silver olympics coins, which I am not going to attempt, thanks to the insane silver prices.

Actually I bought these sets pretty cheap, unlike now, which is currently going at insane prices. I always insisted in getting proper mint sets with the COAs, and hence these. I doubt I would be able to complete the rest though with my stubborn insistance, thanks to the hot market sad.gif

Another irony that this was minted during the Soviet Union era, or rather the near end.
