Kurrykid Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 7:41 pm Does anything know anything about this set. It is titles "Set of Coins 1991" and the literature inside talks about Russia. I found it in my dads stuff after he passed away and I know he and my mom visited Russia a few times. My assumption is probably something out of a gift shop but just thought I'd check. Thanks.

Fatman Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 8:26 pm If the front cover has a picture of four steeples with crosses on them, this is a CCCP 1991 uncirculated coin set. You could buy the proofs too, but some of the coins were different metals if I remember correctly. Years ago the uncirculated set sold for around $25.00 give or take $5.00. Hope that helps!

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 11:27 pm The coins are of proof like condition, struck in Leningrad mint. Unless your mintset has coins of scarcer varieties, it should sell for around 30 dollars easily like Fatman has mentioned.

Fatman Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 10:40 pm If your in it just to get rid of it, yep. Otherwise do a little time on the web and check out other coin sale sites to see what will bring the best price for you. Report this Post to the Staff
jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 10:33 pm CCCP = USSR. Sorry, this is becoming a pet peeve of mine along with KON or KOH instead of kopeck (abb. kop.), or PYb for Rouble. There is also a character map on most computers which contains Cyrillic letters, so we can type Кoп, Руб, etc. Ok, this is a mint set, should say from which mint somewhere in the literature. The coins individually are worth from 1 to 50 cents each. The whole set should sell for about $7 just for curiousity value if the holder isn't too beat up. Report this Post to the Staff
Roderick New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 6:29 pm I do not believe that coins such as these were even circulated as the country was in the full grip of hyperinflation the following year. Once in a while I would see similar coins in the gutter and no one (other than me on occasion) ever bothered to pick them up as they were of negligible value. Report this Post to the Staff
