gxseries Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I thought 1970 5 kopek is the key date to the entire Soviet coins other than varieties of 1991 and 1958 but this price got me quite shocked. http://www.ebay.com/...=p2047675.l2557 http://www.ebay.com/...=p2047675.l2557 I think I can put a stop in collecting Soviet coins for quite a long time. I'm just missing the 1966 10 kopek and the 1990 M 10 kopek for this type. Other denominations can wait I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 At these prices I should start selling my soviet collection... Ebay seems to be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Current price for USSR coins. (dec 2012 - jan 2013) 1$ = 30 rub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 The price for the 1970 15k according to the catalog is suggested tobe at 8500 ruble, which is around 300 dollars (give and take). It's still a lot higher for what it was sold for. Personally I would like to close all these holes as much as I can but the prices have gone absolutely crazy. For instance, all the 1 ruble coins from 1961-1991 is supposedly doable for about 10 dollars each (average). Turns out this is not the case especially late 60s and 70s. I have just recently completed this set. There are some coins that are 'common' but they just don't appear anywhere! For instance, I have been looking for 1991 50k (M) and 1966 10 kopek for a while. I have also JUST completed the 3 kopek coin from 1924 - 1991 except 1958. Waiting for two coins to come in at the moment. This has been one of the tougher coin set to be completed. Price wise, you would think it's easier to complete 1k or 2k (except for a couple of rarer coins) but this wasn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 from soviet period - I like 5 kop denomination from 1926 - 1939 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 1970 in white metal were always tough to find. My year of birth, and I lived in USSR and yet I don't have have them. Probably because I never bought a coin - always swapped them when I was a kid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I only collected foreign coins. If I ever came across this 1970 15 kopeeks, I know what I did with it - ICE CREAM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Пломбир (Russian ice-cream)? I never collected Soviet coins especially, always Tzarist Russian coins. Only some uncommon (for circulation) once that were obvious for a kid, that they were reasonably uncommon. But I did have the 1970 coins (in brass), since they were my birth-year coins...

gxseries Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Here are some of the 1970 coins. I have the 1970 non-commemorative coin as well that I need to photograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Пломбир (Russian ice-cream)? No, Plombir (Пломбир) was the large brick sold for astounding 48 kopeeks! Eskimo was 20 kopeeks, while Lakomka I believe was 15 kopeeks. Sometimes they had sorbet for 9 kopeeks as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 That's it! I forgot... That one was in a waffle cup ... They still have something of a kind. I can get it here in Russian grocery store sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndoStocks Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hello everyone First visit to this site in the 90s and noughties (2000-5) I obtained quantities of Russian coins dating from 1700 approx to 1970s. The better ones I had slabbed like the commemoratice roubles from the 19th century and the values are fairly easy to find on sixbid or individual and mainly US auction sites like Heriatage and Stacks Bowers. The reason this message on this thread is as follows; I also acquired a set of coins from Bank of Foreign Trade of the USSR Commemorative 1 Rouble Copper NIckel Coins containing five coins in Proof strike from 1965 until 1977. Do anyone of you out these knoiw how many of these were struck (in the box as well as possible), who they were issued to and of course not least of all, where they are (have been offered) and what prices paid. I live in Indonesi a and am ready to help members of this forum if visiting my sunny isles. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I could be wrong, but I believe that proof strikes prior to 1980's or late 70's are rare. As a result there were re-strikes in the 90's of the early commemoratives with something like this on the edge (H.) to indicate that it is a Novodel.

AustinClarke Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Awesome collection it is, I just loved it. I am fond of collecting coins and have good collection of it. I will share the image soon after updating my collection. [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Well, if Soviet-era issues are commanding higher prices, that news hasn't hit the bourse. There were still plenty of kopeks in the bargain bins, and I didn't see anything that looked horribly expensive, or even recently marked up. I availed myself of a 20k from 1928, among others.
