bekiz Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 As of Krause - the same mintage as others - 300 000. Do not have other catalogs to check though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bekiz Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Mintage of the bimetal coins can be found here: http://www.cbr.ru/en...inal=0&Metall=0 Just change it to 1994. thanks good source it is stated that 30000 coins were minted ... the same as in Krause so, as of both sources - the same mintage for most of the bi-metalic red book (wildlife) series. still no reason why this particular coin priced higher than others in the series.

bekiz Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Wow I saw this link and remembered this post. http://www.ebay.com/...=item3cc4c745a4 This is my coin actually and the second one I sold on ebay (another was sold for $68). And I am not counting others that I sold for 60 a piece via forums. In Russia they are selling for $90-100 on local internet auction. Asked in many different forums why is the coin so regarded. To tell long story short - huge bag of these gazelles was either lost or bought out by some "entrepreneur" and kept while the rest of the 1994 series were sold. So, most of the red book collections are incomplete. So, I take it as a chance to add some other coins to my collection that will be regarded the same way P.S. I've got these coins few days after I started the thread. One of the pawn shops had them, so spend some time to get them out of the boxes with coins.
