Hi,
So I've found out that the same seller has another 50 kopeks coin, from 1922.
It looks exceptionaly good, taking into consideration what the market offers.
But I'm not certain whether it is au, or unc. Particulary some fruits sprouting
from a plant (right side of the observer)look kinda flat. I've checked PCGS pop
report for high quality pics. But I still can't tell for sure, into which category
the coin falls.

I'm hard-pressed to see any actual wear on the coin...maybe with magnification...I do see many dings on the PCCP area. I'm caught in-between AU58 and Unc.

For reference, here is an NGC MS62 recently offered at auction https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...5d1dc69b60ba

I can't tell what is going on with the rim at 9:00 to 12:00 on the hammer & sickle side, but it does not look good. Dings to PCCP are just slightly more than the MS62 example but the center of this side is sharper in the coin you posted.
Very nice coin. I was impressed to see what nice MS examples sell for.

Not as clear cut as the 50 kopek from this seller. With this, I'd say it comes down to the luster in hand. The obverse, in the photo, tells me AU, like others are saying. But, I've had coins like this and, when you have them in hand, the luster is great. There does not look to be a lot of marks, so I wouldn't be surprised to go up to MS 63 or so. Gotta be in hand. But, you bought it already? If not, depending on the price, it might be a good risk to take.

Give us more photos when it arrives, if you buy it.

Thank you for all the answers!
In the end, I have decided not to buy the coin.
