orel Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have lived in the former Soviet Union for about three years and have put together a decent sized collection of both pre-and post-revolutionary coins. Is there an online resource that will give me some assistance in grading their condition and value? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I don't know about grading sources - I don't think I've seen anything like Photograde for Russian coins. For prices, I suggest monitoring auction results on the web to get a feel for the market. Prices have gone up a lot in recent years. For the tougher stuff, Krause prices are very outdated. I'd love to be able to buy (Krause prices) a 1707 ruble in XF for a mere $700-$1000, a Peter II 2 rubles gold in XF for just $2400-$3000, or a Catherine I 2 rubles in XF for a mere $2400, just to name a few. Unfortunately, in the real world, you can't buy those coins in that quality for anything remotely resembling those prices. They're not even close.
