Good day, I don't think its a record, russian proofs are VERY hot today (and always), and its normal if you compair crazy prices for common coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marv Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 That's what I'm talking about......... Very sorry for people who collects PROOF coins, its out of range........ But if you HAVE some nice proofs, you've got to feel good. The only problem? When/if to sell. The rarity of proofs is unknown. It's assumed to be small, but one sees Nicholas II proofs most of the time in auctions, so they're out there. I bought a proof 1910 rouble from Mark Teller in the '90s - a flawless piece with beautiful toning for $1600. I always scan the proofs in auctions for a 1910, but never see that date. There have been a very few over the years I've been checking, whereas many other dates are much more in evidence in proof. NGC has only graded two low grade proofs, and PCGS none. I am hesitant to have it slabbed for fear that the delicate proof surfaces will be damaged. It doesn't take more than a couple of marks to relagate an PF67 to a PF64. Anyone have any experience with walking a coin through PCGS in Irvine? Can you walk in their office and drop off a coin? Perhaps that is a way to minimize the chances of damage to a coin during the slabbing process. Marv Finnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Finnley I believe good time to sell it IF you planning to invest the money to the better place/business/realstate...... Proof coins are top of the line today, and your coin i think should worth somewhere between 35-50k I think you can drop off the coin during major shows, or even direct to NGC/PCGS office. In your case its worth to spend money for that "sweet" service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Finnley Last year a 1910 proof rouble sold in Hess Divo auction of a Russian collection from Japan for 19k (if I am not mistaken about the price). But it was not a great coin. Your seems to be much better. I agree with GHV in that you can turn your coin into NGC or PCGS at any major coins show. They have an express same day service for $100, but lately it does not apply to Russian coins (high values, too many fakes, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
