gxseries Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I am the "criminal" I haven't uploaded these pictures yet but they will come up soon. I am somewhat close in collecting almost all of the Soviet silver coins except for a few commemorative 3 ruble coins (which I think I need another 4 or 5) and uncirculated silver olympics coins, which I am not going to attempt, thanks to the insane silver prices. Actually I bought these sets pretty cheap, unlike now, which is currently going at insane prices. I always insisted in getting proper mint sets with the COAs, and hence these. I doubt I would be able to complete the rest though with my stubborn insistance, thanks to the hot market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
