bobh Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 My 2 kopeks' worth of advice: You have to buy the coin, not the slab! Without pictures, or seeing the coin in hand, it is impossible to say whether the prices are good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antikvarius Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 OH MY! $169 for 20 kopecks 1915 Doesn't matter if these coins in such grade, it doesn't cost so much anyway. I bought 4 of same year last weekend in same condition for $3 each. It is quite cheap even for my country but I will have hard time to sell them here more than for $15 (usually it goes around $10-12). I guess your dealer just want a lot of money for things that cost lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hey, plastic is expensive! They make that stuff from oil, you know. And Holograms are very high-tech, which is also expensive. In fact, i predict in the future, slabs will contain a HOLOGRAM of the coin, instead of the actual coin, and the actual coin will be stored in a pcgs bunker 2 miles underground, on the island of Svalbard.

IgorS Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 North East Numismatics are known for slabbing coins (and now medals too) and trying to get top $ for it. Well, I guess there is nothing wrong with it. At least they are a reputable outfit. If the coins do not sell in the first two weeks, I am sure you will be able to negotiate a better deal.

They are currently offering this coin which, I was interested to learn, is not only a kopeck but rare as well. Russia 1925 1 Kopeck NGC - MS64BN A rare issue and exceptional quality. $695 Of course, only a fool would buy such a coin raw (or so I've been told).

grivna1726 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Rare? Did anybody checked mintage? And only a mere $695 for a certified NGC-MS-64. I'm sure some smart guy will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few Soviet coins, but not of this type. I collect (when I can) Imperial coins. Thanks to Hussulo for the great coin photography link which I have now bookmarked.
