jakeagusta Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi Guys and Girls, I have '2' 1898 Roubles both Uncirculated and as New. The serial Numbers end 361 & 362 I also have '36' Uncirculated 1917 '250' Roubles in Serial Number Order. The Notes are unmarked and crisp. Almost New albeit they are 100+ years old. Now I acquired these notes 12 years ago in a Basement in Afghanistan............Long Story................ These have been placed in an envelope and stored ever since. What are you opinions ? Should they remain in the envelope and be forgotten about or are they worth any £'s amongst collectors ??? I have looked on eBay and prices vary, the difficulty I have is that these notes are untouched and in serial number order therefore slightly more desirable. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.

jakeagusta Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Managed to Scan the notes today. It would appear that my Scanner has failed to scan the white part of the larger '1898' note ??? therefore I apologise now for the cropped image. I believe this to be :- World Paper Money Catalog number: P5b. ??? These smaller 1917 Notes are in 'New' Condition. Total 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siluska Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Zagorski 2007 gives a value of 12000 roubles (around 400 $) for 100 roubles 1898 Timashev sign *the rarest* in XF (ochi harasho), the highest grade, as this one. From my experience, for all the 100 roubles 1898, no mather the signature, it is in top 3 of quality i ever saw, and has a value of several hundred dollars. The second note, from 1917, is common, even in UNC, and and it's about 20-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siluska Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 here is on in F (described as XF, but far away from that). I think that you can get 1000 $ at least for this 100 roubles 1898 http://molotok.ru/100-rublej-1898-timashev-xf-i2528129310.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
