Don't make me pull out my crusty coins to post here. Here is an unusual overstrike coin - 1759 2kopeks over 1755 MMD 1 kopek over 1727 5 kopeks

Vfox, you are 100 years too early!

Completely forgot about this. Got a neat Dannish coin that commemorates an ex-Australian Princess, now Dannish - looks quite neat. Thanks for the giveaway Sisu!

Oops didn't check the thread out. 1766 2 kopek 1766 polushka Not the best quality out there

Good grief Grivna, I have not seen this post for ages and that 15kopek-1zlot of yours is a shocker! Thanks for showing. Mariah, like what Grivna has mentioned, excellent condition can vary from people to people, like Bluesfil example might be excellent to you as you might factor in the age but condition like his might be suprisingly cheap at times like 30USD if you are very lucky. However coin condition like Grivna's is QUITE uncommon so be prepared to pay a high price for it. I personally like the huge 1.5ruble-1zlot as this is a perfect 1 ounce monster coin. (weights 0.1gram less than an troy ounce though) Like like what Grivna said, post a picture and we can give you a better estimate. Welcome to coinpeople by the way

Something I HAD to post: Russia 1788 MM 5 kopeks overstruck in 1762 10 kopeks.

Here you go:

If you don't mind, I have a 1825/4 10 kopek

Japan 1884 1/2sen Russia 1883 coronation ruble Yes, I posted the awful 1884 so that I can post the coronation ruble

Sorry for the late feedback - Banivechi has sent me a batch of super hot aluminum coins from Romania and others. I can't be any happier! Many thanks!

He's got to be joking right? Sekine is auctioning the whole lot?!

I would recommand you to strongly hold on to it redshaddow, if not do proper search. Thank goodness you asked here. Recent Soviet mintsets have been driving like crazy and it should be worth holding onto. For example recent auctions on ebay of the plastic sheet soviet mint set of the following are: (This is what I remembered off the top of my head so don't blame me if I am totally off but I am quite sure these prices are quite right) 1970: 600USD 1973: 150USD 1975: 250USD It's relatively difficult to find early 1970s mintset as well as the 60s with the exception of 1967-69. I have never seen such an external red case like yours so perhaps it makes yours very interesting, if not, valuable. The only main reason why such plastic sheets are more desirable is simply because of the bad packaging in the hard plastic casing - most of the coins in them are toned or have some extremely ugly "metal disease" on it. For example: Perhaps Timofei can comment something about this - all I know is it's definately not something that appeared in the market as long as I know of these years and definately never of any sort with that red case. Congradulations! And for whatever reasons, please accept my apologizes for not welcoming you to the forum.

I don't know where on earth you are getting your sources from but that's absurd. Links will be appericated. No gold coins were minted from 1924 (1923 is a one year type) until 1975 when the chervonets were restruck. There are two different packaging for this, that is the hard case and the soft plastic sheet. I have only seen a 1974 set in hard plastic case but have seen both 1973 and 1975 in soft sheet. Both 73 and 75 are quite expensive and I presume that if a 74 mintset does exist in plastic sheet, it will be rather valuable.

I don't know of any pieces minted in gold and silver back in 1974. However if you are talking about mintset that is minted in base metal, i.e. nickel-copper-zinc and such, then that's another story. Usually around 20USD or so unless it's a unusual varient. (could be more but I can't keep up with all the years)

Elverno, I am pretty suprised with the Italian coin. The reverse looks somewhat similar the 1796 Cipher kopeks! Something I should post in the Russian coin forum (will be borrowing your image Elverno )

Burks, are you sure these are minted in silver? These were minted in ni-cupro and were widely circulated here. (or they might be if they are indeed the silver edition) 1998 Australia 50 Cent - George Bass/Matthew Flinders (Four of them) - About 0.5oz silver each

Believe it or not, I can even make something similar with my colour printer! No punt intended. Sorry but if that's the quality of a 100,000USD and it's supposed to be PRIVATE, no reason why it should be shoddy at all.

Geez, pretty harsh are you Oldman? That's what reference books are there for

Just in case one is wondering how it looks like, here is one from my collection: Bad photography there.

Not too sure but your link doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

Holy! Those are some neat bills you got there! Thanks for showing.

Nice one bobh. Definately very nice.

Nice one Vfox. If you noticed Vfox, the so called 10,000 rubles aren't really rubles but instead called "billets" or a ridicious name like "tokens". There was a time when the Soviet Union broke up and the rubles were very unstable, forcing people to buy either US dollars which is pretty much illegal but it happened or a scammer, (can't remember his name) just advertised that his "stocks" are worth a lot. Obviously people bought his story, bought plenty of his paper money and tada. It crashed one day.

That's funny - a few people have Hungarian Denar. This is mine: 1516 Hungarian Denar. Notice there is a rotation error here.

Nice one Bobh. I am guessing the 50 kopek is the most expensive one out of there?
