So thanks for the replies. I looked up what you found on the Rusttupennies website, thats cool that it had a signed Jesse Owens pic with it. I was wondering do you think I should bust it open to look for the Rouble error? And if so any ideas on opening without distroying the case? I'm not sure I did to bad I bought this set with some other silver Canadian Olympic sets and already sold them for $120.00 over what I had in all the coins. So I have nothing in it!! And still have 2 1999 US Silver mint sets $85-100 ea and these. So I should be up nicely! Wish I could do that every day!!!

well all of this price dropping we can point to our fine goverment and banking leaders. It was released that Bank of America and JP Morgan had 5 million shares shorted against paper silver. These shares where sold off in an overnight trading session. 1 huge short against the market. What wasn't released until much later was they had 50 million shorted against silver and 100 million on gold. This action was designed by the Fed to scare peaple out of metals. Some peaple have gotton scared and sold off ( some at a loss again just like the market drop) to place the money back into the market. This action would allow the Sideliners to pickup the tab so the Fed can get out off the 85 million dollar a month market feeding they have been doing. Sounds like a great goverment we have no ?? Btw the US mint has been out of silver < no Eagle production 3 times this year>. They are on pace to sell more Eagles then ever. Somewhere in the 45 million oz range. I have not been stacking any more Eagles, I have been purchasing private mint rounds. Usually 2$ over spot vs 3-4$ for Eagles. I refuse to pay the higher surcharges, when the goverment has done everything in its power to ruin our chances of retaining true wealth. And btw the Silver mine in Utah that colapsed in May only was mining 18-22% of the silver used by the US market. Hmm sounds like silver should be down. Its all control. Stack as much as you can as fast as you can. Dont hope for the best, Just prepare better for it.

Well I got a bunch of 1 oz copper rounds. (1000) I got some 1oz copper that is in the shape of a 45apc bullet. (100) Kendall Oil token from the 1930-40s. 1902 Barber Dime- AU, 1890 Indian cents - AU. 1938 Americain Legion Armistice Day 20th Anniversary token. And last but not least of all 7500 rounds of 22lr bullets. Not sure it all applies to this website but heck its what I got.

Here is the coin holder. Regular hard plastic, good shape, not all rubbed up or cracked. All the coins appear to be near mint without any acid etching from the holder. I dont think these were just thrown together because there is a 3rd cover that holds both the stamps and the coins. It has a little Olympic symbol on the cover, with no other writings. So hope this helps!! I'm really excited to see the replies!!! And btw thanks for the welcome.

Red cover that holds the coins. Has both Russian and English on both sides of the cover. Front side for the "Set of coins of the USSR" Back side for the coin descriptions. 1-10 Kopeks-Rouble. I think is a nice marketing ploy.

Here is the last stamp. Each stamp has a description, in English, on the next page of the booklet. It explains that the stamps should be limited to under 500,000 exports. This Booklet has the first 4 stamps issued in the program.

Thanks for the replies guys think. I got these cropped down enough to so you can get the idea. Here are the 1st 3 stamps that are in the booklet. The booklet is just a normal red color, with the plastic soft holder.

Hello all. I'm fairly new to collecting coins, but I do enjoy stacking silver. I recenlty came across a 1976 Lenningrad Mint set with a 1980 Olympic stamp program booklet. These coins are in the regular "red wrapped " plastic hard case. I've had a few conflicting pricing values on these coins. I think this is around the value of these coins. I'm placing a wide range on these since they are still incased and the true face of the coin is unknown (without looking through plastic). 1 Kopek- $.20-.25 2 Kopek- .$10-.15 3 Kopek- .$10-.15 5 Kopek- $.10-.15 15 Kopek- $.10-.15 20 Kopek- $135.00-325.00 Is this really true? Is this a semi rare? 50 Kopek- $8.00-25.00 1 Rouble- $3.00-15.00 $100.00-275.00 with 1975 edge variant All these are USD only I dont know the conversion rate to another currency. All the coins appear to be in very good condition, no acid etching from the cardboard divider. No visible scratches or wear marks. So am I close on these or fare off the value? So if the values are correct any ideas on handling these. Should I break up the set and have the coins graded/ slabbed? I know I would have to remove the Rouble to see if it had the variant. Also any ideas on the stamps ?? I know this is a coin forum but I can not find any info on these. I find it wierd ( maybe just a marketing idea someone had???) that the coin holder has both Russain and English. Russain coin value translated to English on the "red cardboard" coin wrap. With the stamps only have English discriptions. The mints set is from 1976 and the stamps are from 1980. But the stamps have a 1976 copyright. I can try to add some pictures if anyone is interested but I will have to figure out how to add on this forum. Thanks in advance for the looks and replys.
