I'll pass myself. What a huge markup plus you have to pay HST on it. It's a double wammy.

Shame its such an awful price. I would love to own all 4 coins, being a Russian citizen, born and lived there until 9 I would like to have more Russian coins. However, I do find that Russia always issues sterling silver as bullion...weird, they have always been like this. I love the coat of arms though, looks so powerful, and for me, obviously has a lot of significance. Here is a coin my grandmother gave me as a gift hen my mom went to visit last year, its a Russian bullion coin. I'm not a fan of the design, and the coat of arms looks more like a chicken rather than a 2 headed eagle lol...but its a special coin for me I will never sell :P ( along with maples...and the rest of my collection haha)   |

Probably the easiest decision I have ever made on purchasing a coin.
No within 3 seconds.

In return I wonder what Canadian NCLT the Russians are selling over there... The baseball silver coins perhaps?
At least these are fine silver.

The baseball series might end up being pretty rare.... I haven't heard anyone say that they actually bought one.

Makes sense.... I know that the world Mints exchange coins that don't sell very well domestically... which is why the Russian and Chinese coins available currently at the RCM. |

Want to share some picture of the USSR NCLT (1991) that I have. This what I call "pure soviet NCLT coin" - proof silver coin, with standard (for that times) purity of the .900 (as I understand, US Mint uses the same standard for the NCLT coins); commemorates important milestone; beautiful obverse with the USSR Coat of Arms. Here it is: Coin: 30th anniversary of the first human flight into space (1961-1991) monument on Gagarin Square in Moscow, stars in the background, dates: "1961", "1991"   Specifications:Denomination - 3 Ruble (~ $5 for 1991) Finish - Proof Content - .900 Silver Weight - 31.1 g Diameter - 39 mm Mintage - 25.000 (I saw different sources, where 40.000 appears) Minted by: Leningrad Mint (USSR / Russia) Comes with Serialized COA in Russian Need to say - happy to own it in my collection Edited by Silveroid

I bought the 4 silver baseball coin set when they were on deal of the week at CCC for $74.99 each I believe it was,so like $300, If my memory serves me right. Plus I got the bonus Blue Jay medallion and stamp set for free, like $15 value. But I would not have paid full price for them which is $114 each. That said I really do like them , as with most coins they look better in hand then on the mints website. |

Thanks, CC-Ottawa for update.
IMO - or to collect them all, or just that one, that you like, or actually, the sports that you like.
As for coins themselves - they just boring. Poor design and .925 purity. Only small colored element (flower/plant) looks cute. Canadian 1976 coins (the proof sets, wooden boxes) even looks nicer.
All that said, since I really expect from Russia some nice bullion / commemorative .999 silver coin. And they do not mint any (having resources and 2 mints)
