Some reckon that this is easy but I beg to differ. While the catalog values for each coin may not be very high, some years in particular from 1965 to 1973 are a lot tougher than what many think. You might be able to find many Soviet coins in junk coin lot including 50 kopek and some commemorative rubles but I have rarely seen hoards of rubles in such coin lot. These days when I look at ebay, prices for a lot of the common XF+ ruble coins (1980s onwards) are commanding at least 5-10 dollars. Coins from the 60s to 70s are priced insane - some are asking for 30 - 50 dollars if not more. I reckon it's A LOT easier to complete an entire set of Soviet commemorative coin set (excluding the Barcelona commemorative coins) instead of this non-commemorative ruble coins. As of why, I have no idea. Here's a couple of photos: With this, I have completed every single Soviet ruble coin that has been released excluding varieties. Maybe you have some of these in your collection?

My only normal type ruble coin is from mint set (1968) and I have never seen one in bulk lots. One ruble notes are relatively common here so that's why I think they used them instead of coins.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5178 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 10:25 am Cool set! My "collection" only has two of these Soviet small-size roubles - both from 1964. (Then again, I don't particularly focus on Soviet coinage. Indeed, I've only ever started two "sets" that included any Soviet coinage... the copeck type set - where I've got all the Soviet ones already (indeed the last non-pattern type I'm missing is over 200 years old) - and the 1924 set I started as a birth year set for my great aunt, who ultimately wasn't interested so I didn't continue beyond 3 coins.)
