I disagree with the little or no collector value when it comes to the 1933 5 kopek. This is a rather rare key date and even in this condition, I reckon it can go up to 100 dollars or more even in this condition. In fact, this is the key to the entire Soviet 5 kopek set and it only exceeded by rarity by the 1958 5 kopek.
Here is an example that was sold recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russia-Sovi...047675.l2557
Yes it's not cheap.
The 1902 ruble looks like a contempory counterfeit and the weight is clearly wrong. From memory it should weigh 20.0 gram but it's clearly underweight. It looks like a lead-zinc alloy to me. Value wise? Who knows.
