gxseries Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 It depends on what you want to collect. Unfortunately with the crazy price of the Russian coins these days, even modern Russian coins are a challenge to collect! It's better to limit what you want to collect. Coins from the Soviet era are now quite difficult to collect from the data that I have gathered. The coins that you have shown were only used in 1992 and 93 but were quickly discontinued in 1995 due to the economic situation in Russia. In 1997 a new coinage was formed which is still continued to be used until now. Here is my collection that you might be interested in: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/rus_new_type/1992_2007.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 If you are just starting out with Russian coins, be very careful of 'not authentic' or 'counterfeit' coins. Some are even being sold on EBAY. Your best bet is to stick with those certified by companies such as PCGS. I believe I heard that even the Chinese were counterfeiting Russian Roubles!! Be very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
