thanks guys for hospitality, I am from russia and have a lot of this coins. My friend said me that coins of russian coast very much, but it s no true- in russian this coin cost about 20 $, (sorry for my english)
Much less than that actually. I've bought decent examples for less than $15, and examples in AG go as low as $5. This presumably means that svslav's catalog is just about right

The problem is mainly that it's officially illegal to export them (a situation, IIRC, not exactly unique to Russia).
Fun fact: I've been trying for several months to put together a type set of one-copeck coins with as many different types as possible.
I think by now I'm only missing three types from Catherine II's reign to present - of which two are minor variations from the 1950s which I just didn't know of until relatively late in, and the third is priced in the $200 range so I'm not getting it anytime soon - but it's been a pain to even get all of
those (I had to pay about $7 for the Proletaries piece, and it took me a very long while to even
see a Mason Eagle piece offered).
