Expensive Russian coins. All valuable Russian coins in one list! How to sell such coins as expensive as possible

Every numismatist dreams of purchasing the rarest and most expensive coins in Russia.

A rare coin is not only a matter of legitimate pride of a successful collector, but also a wonderful investment in the future.

Every year the number of such copies decreases, so prices tend to new heights.

How to find a rarity?

The general search scheme "works" with each coin:

• Revealing the denomination, which may be rare.
• Inspection of the year of manufacture.
• Look for special signs of expensive varieties.
• Evaluation for a rare marriage.

Coins can be of the same denomination and year of minting, but differ in details: the position and rotations of the mint trademark, the typeface, the presence of defects and many other features that make them rare and expensive specimens.

"Elusive" rarities of numismatics

They are not found in circulation. Assumptions are made about the reasons for the release. They are distinguished by an unusual combination of denomination, year of issue and monogram.

Denomination	A photo	Special Features	Price, rub.)
5 kopecks 1999		The known number of coins in the collections is 3. They first floated out in free circulation in 2013. Origin version:a working test of the stamps for 1999 was carried out at the mint and mixed with a total circulation of 1998. Since the Central Bank made a decision not to mint the denominations in 1999 at all, the trial batch of stamps on the “patches” remained extremely rare.	From 100 thousand
		One coin is officially known to exist, discovered in 2009. The coinage alloy is a bimetal based on copper and clad cupronickel. No magnetic properties. Has 60 corrugations on a rim. Peculiarities of the minting: rounded top left number "5", the right side of the gasta with sharp corners, leaves of the depicted plant reach the edge, in the word "RUBLES" pointed lower steps, a point in the form of a rounded mint mark. The most expensive coin in Russia.	From 250,000

Identification of MMD coins in the absence of a monogram: in the word "KOPEK" the lower leg of the first letter is made with a well-defined step.

Rare annual issues

All coins of the year are valuable and rare. Each issue has unique characteristics.

Full set 2011-2012		It was found at the mint, where only commemorative coins were issued in 2011. The alleged reason for issuing a full set of denominations is as a planned preparation for the 2011 edition for a working check of new stamps.	They are not found in circulation. It is estimated that there are about 10 such "sets" in large collections.	SPMD	1.5 million rubles	Due to the transfer by the State Bank of the entire regular circulation to the Moscow Mint, the St. Petersburg issue remained unique. In 2012, similar coins, only without one and five kopecks, could be “bargained” for 1 million rubles upon purchase.

Instances with special characteristics

In different years, issues and denominations, there are special characteristics of the coin, which significantly raise the price of an individual copy.

Anniversary bimetallic 10 rubles

Coins of the "Russian Federation" series were minted with a basic circulation of 10 million copies at SPMD. Three of them have been released in a significantly truncated "version".

Among the numismatists they have the abbreviation "CHYAP". Rare dozens quickly left the turnover, due to which they moved from the category of "circulating" to investment.

		We met actively on the territory of the region.	5514-0070	200 000	1939-3570

Other varieties began to disappear with the same swiftness - ordinary citizens began to postpone them in the hope of a future rise in price.

Expensive marriages from auctions

There are many marriages among the most expensive coins in Russia. A number of them went through auctions with very impressive selling prices.

Valuable types of marriages

There are coinage marriages of value on any coin. Their cost always exceeds a thousand rubles.

• The cost of copies with a strong shift is 15-20 thousand rubles. Defects with a minimum shift - from 1 thousand rubles.

• Minting with a jammed coin of the next copy that got into the machine. It turns out a "mirror" image on the second coin. The average price is 5,000 rubles.

• Occurs when two blanks enter the minting simultaneously. Price from 3000 rubles.

Stamp splits, turns, non-stamping - have an increased price if they are strongly pronounced.

Speculative imitation issues

The coins are created by unscrupulous mint masters in the expectation of being sold to numismatists for a high price.

• Image shifts during repeated impact by 30-40%. Estimated at 10-15 thousand for 1 copy.
• "Mixups". Since modern coins do not have similar diameters, “craftsmen” have to combine the incompatible. Examples of such "confusions": double obverse (5 kopecks in 1998), the front side of the ruble with a reverse of 50 kopecks and many others. Serious collectors bypass such "crafts" side, but "craftsmen" sell them to beginners from time to time under the guise of especially rare ones. The average price is 5 thousand rubles.
• Coinage on "foreign" blanks - coins are issued for experimental: bimetallic 50 kopecks in 2015, 1 ruble in 2014, 10 rubles "Sverdlovsk region" with an insert from the blank of 50 kopecks and many others. There is no information on the issue of such coins in the official reference books. Despite this, for a speculative coin, you can get from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles.

The presence of rare specimens in the collection is a sign of the weight and significance of the collection, the professionalism of the numismatist. Therefore, there will always be demand for the most expensive and rare Russian coins.

Due to the great interest of readers and visitors of my blog to the most valuable coins of modern Russia, I decided to do a short review article. In it you will find a list of valuable Russian coins, indicating the price and a brief description of the features that make the coin rare and valuable (if any). The list includes valuable coins from 1992 to the present (2018).

In general, just a list of valuable Russian coins and nothing superfluous 🙂 I think it will be useful to anyone interested in modern coins. Whether it is a numismatist who collects a serious collection or just a person who does not want to miss his chance to find a valuable coin (and earn decent money on it). In general, see for yourself ...

Please note that the value of valuable coins is highlighted in different colors. Those coins, the price of which exceeds 1 trillion rubles, are marked in green, and especially valuable and rare coins, the cost of which is estimated at tens, or even hundreds of thousands of rubles, are marked in red. Please note that the list contains coins whose value is equal to or exceeds at least 200 rubles.

Many do not even realize that there are rare and extremely expensive coins among modern Russian coins. Yes, yes, it is among those coins that we carry in wallets that you can find a real treasure. The price of a coin primarily depends on the circulation, and not on its age. It turns out that, for example, an ancient Greek coin can cost several times cheaper than a 2003 coin. Let's take a closer look at which of the rubles and kopecks 1997-2011 are rare and therefore expensive. So:

1 ruble from 1997 !!! wide edging (click on the image to enlarge) in the photo you can see that on the ruble the edging is wide on the left and clearly covers the petal, and on the right the edging is narrow and does not reach the petal. So here is such a ruble that to the left is from 1500-4000 depends on the state.

The next rare coin is to find it in circulation is unrealistic. Only one such coin was found, they claim that the coin is genuine, and in 2009 it was pulled out for auction for 200,000 rubles.

The next rare coins of modern Russia are, and ( at the same time, rubles are ordinary, not jubilee, NOT Gagarin and not the CIS) Their cost is very high, the price is difficult to say, it is generally accepted that the price for each of them is 100,000 rubles.

The following coins are cheaper, but they are also quite rare, you can probably find them at home. These are coins of 1 ruble 2003, 2 rubles 2003, 5 rubles 2003. The mintage of these coins is approximately 15,000 pieces each. I personally know a person who found 2 rubles in 2003, while going through about 6,000 pieces. kopeck piece. One in 6000, but you may be more fortunate. The prices for them according to the price tag are as follows: 1 ruble - 12,000, 2 rubles - 12,500, 5 rubles - 8,000, but it must be borne in mind that the price tag indicates the price for a coin in excellent condition. In reality, they take at lower prices. For example, a ruble costs around 9000 rubles, 2 rubles is about the same. And 5 rubles from 3000 and above. These coins are now accepted even at the bank, but all at a price of 5,000 rubles.

The rest of the coins are less valuable, you can see the price for them in our price list (attention the prices are indicated for coins in VF condition, that is, in excellent condition).

b / b - means that there is no mint mark on the coin

n / m - means Non-magnetic / Magnetic

red - means Rare Coin is very rare and it is difficult to determine the price.

There is plenty of information on the rarest and most expensive coins of modern Russia on the Internet, but not every novice numismatist will be able to understand such a huge stream of contradictory information. In this article, in order to systematize knowledge and the convenience of working with them, valuable banknotes are systematized into several groups. In the following lists, you can find both collectible rarities, costing up to 500 thousand rubles, and less expensive items that should be looked for in the cash flow.

Important! All prices are approximate, the actual selling price may differ significantly from the indicated one. ...

To search for rare rubles and kopecks, you need to understand the following mandatory elements of regular coinage metal banknotes:

The legends of the appearance at auctions of most of the coins listed in this list say that they were found completely by accident. But it's hard to believe in this, since the most expensive copies were minted only in the amount of 1-2 pieces. Therefore, do not hope that you will be able to get them in the collection, sorting through the little things. But the rubles of 2003, as well as the pennies of 2017, everyone has a chance to meet in their wallet! For example, in 2003, about 15 thousand coins were minted in denominations of 1, 2 and 5 rubles. of each type, and after a few years this money was in circulation, every year there are lucky ones who come across these expensive coins.

List of expensive coins

In the following list, we have collected less expensive modern coins. They are infrequent, their price is over 100 rubles per copy

Year	Denomination	MD	price, rub.
1997	1 rbl	MMD / SPMD	100
	2 rbl	MMD / SPMD	100
	RUB 5	MMD / SPMD	100

	2 rbl	MMD / SPMD	300 / 100
2002	50 kopecks	Joint venture	150
2010	RUB 5	SPMD	100

But using this table for evaluating coins, one must take into account that it will be relevant for money that does not have significant scratches and scuffs (safety is not lower than "XF" (excellent)), and it is better if they have a smooth surface and shine ("UNC") ... In this case, the cost of the listed banknotes may increase up to 1 thousand rubles.

Valuable varieties

Do you want to delve deeper into the study of Russian coins? To do this, you need a magnifying glass and a variety catalog. The differences in some species are microscopic, and it will not be easy to understand them. Although there are simple and at the same time very valuable options, photos and prices, which are shown below.

10 rubles

In 2010, the St. Petersburg Mint used two types of stamps for minting tens. The usual version has a pronounced groove between the lines and the inner wall of the zero, and in the rare type, the lines inside the zero touch its walls. Rare 10 rubles cost about 1000 rubles.

Up to 30 thousand are tens of 2012 (MMD) with thick extreme lines at zero. For ordinary options, these lines are thin.

Among the 2013 chervonets, it is worth looking for expensive copies with a triple in the date with a straight tail looking down (without thickening at the end). You can sell this option for 300 thousand rubles.

1 ruble

Among the numerous rubles with the date "1997", one should choose copies with the letters "MMD" and edging wider than the standard one. Wide edging or not, the leaf on the side opposite to the eagle will tell us. If it is partially closed, the edging is wide. Such a ruble will cost up to 6 thousand rubles.

In 1998, a version of the ruble with a wide edging was also produced, but its width is slightly smaller in comparison with 1997, therefore, in the expensive version, the edging barely touches the leaf. Price - up to 2.5 thousand.

10 kopecks

If you get hold of a 10 kopeck coin of 2001 of the joint venture, then carefully examine the cloak of George the Victorious. Longitudinal folds on the cloak will provide an opportunity to sell 10 kopecks for 1-2 thousand rubles.

10 kopecks 2002 The joint venture also has a rare variant. The bottom sheet of the valuable specimen is edged, it costs 800-1000 rubles.

5 kopecks

On 5 kopecks of 2002 and 2003, there may be no mint badge. The letterless version of 2002 is estimated at up to 6,000 rubles, the price of 2003 is up to 2,000 rubles.

1 kopeck

The 2004 penny with the letter M has two options. The more valuable one costs up to 1000 rubles, he has double reins.

Which coins are expensive?

We have figured out the lists of expensive coins by year and valuable varieties, but there are still a number of banknotes that can be sold for significantly more than their face value.

Money without traces of circulation and with stamp gloss

Until 2009, rubles were minted on billets from a copper-nickel alloy. Such blanks, in contrast to the steel circles used in recent years, are distinguished by their softness. Having spent even a short time in circulation, such copper-nickel rubles will lose their luster and become covered with micro-scratches. Therefore, among numismatists, rubles from 1997 to 2009 are especially valued in safe "uncirculated", that is, not circulated. Their cost is usually more than 100 rubles, in some cases the selling price at auctions reaches 1000 rubles.

Anniversary and commemorative banknotes

All non-precious metal commemorative coins in circulation are worth more than their face value. The main thing is that their condition is not very deplorable. So, 1 ruble with Pushkin costs about 600 rubles, 2 rubles in 2000 from the "Hero Cities" series are estimated at 100 rubles. And individual dozens of jubilees cost over 10 thousand. The most expensive are 10 rubles in 2010 "Chechen Republic", "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" and "Perm Territory". There are also very valuable varieties, for example, 2 rubles "Gagarin" without the letters of the coin factory, its price is up to 20 thousand rubles.

Defective and non-standard money

Small nodules, roughness and irregularities on the coin field, as well as poorly visible (unmarked) dates, letters and MD signs are usually worthless. It is necessary to hunt for pronounced unique defects.

The more common types of marriage, which on average cost from 100 to 1000 rubles, include:

• Stamp split: during minting, the metal of the workpiece fills the crack on the stamp, therefore, a protruding line forms on the coin;
• Unmatched: the stamp wears out, which leads to a leveling of the relief. For example, the date is often missing in tens of 2012. But only coins in which at least one side is almost completely unmarked have a value higher than the nominal value.
• The taste: a circle that has already been cut is re-cut, so the coin has one or more holes on the edge.
• Turn: one side is turned relative to the other. Reversals of 90 and 180 degrees are considered more valuable.
• Bias: its cause is the incorrect position of the workpiece during embossing, so the image is displaced from the center.
• Edge of the sheet, chips, crumbs, contamination of the stamp and many others.

It is no longer so easy to detect the following defects. Their price starts from 1 thousand rubles.

• Multiple hit: such a defect appears due to additional punches on the workpiece. The second blow follows with an offset, the coin loses the shape of an even circle.
• Incusal marriage: it is also called "sticky", the minted banknote sticks and acts as a stamp, stamping its own image on the next blank, but already in a mirror form.
• Unilateral coinage.
• Double-sided impression: obverse-obverse or reverse-reverse.
• Non-standard blanks:minting coins for billets of non-standard size, weight, alloy.
• A combination of several types of marriage.

Where to sell?

Do you want to profitably sell rare and valuable coins? Then head to the largest numismatists' forums, where it will take time to gain experience, as well as earn the trust of collectors. And only then will you be able to sell the finds remotely at the most expensive auctions of such forums.

Not only commemorative, commemorative or ancient coins can become valuable coins, but also coins of the last 10-15 years. Small circulation, almost imperceptible to the untrained eye, differences in the stamp - all this can add value to the coin on the collection market. After reading this rating, it is worth checking a trifle in your wallet - perhaps you have one of the most expensive Russian coins lying around.

Collectible coin of Sochi 25 rubles, issue of 2011/2012

Can be bought for: 30,000 rubles.

The list of the most expensive coins of modern Russia is opened by the well-known and beloved by numismatists coin from the series issued for the Olympic Games. The aesthetic and memorable value of these coins is quite high - all eleven coins (differing in the year of issue, color of the image, etc.) are eager to collect even novice collectors. But one series of these commemorative coins is more valuable than others - the so-called. presentation, which was distributed to guests in the spring of 2011.

It differs from the usual version primarily in the large (compared to later) monogram of the St. Petersburg Mint. In addition, differences can be found in small details in the image of the Russian coat of arms.

In 2012, a small number of "Talismans of the Olympiad" with a large SPMD monogram appeared, which made the coins different from the rest of the circulation. You can buy such "Talismans" at the present time for 1000 rubles.

There is an even rarer variant, the “trick” of which is the higher location of the emblem of the St. Petersburg Mint.

Cost: 30,000 rubles.

Every year in the Russian Federation, the Moscow Mint issues new ten-ruble coins. But even among ordinary, ordinary coins, you can find rarity. Just in 2012 - 2013, one of the old stamps, on which ten-ruble notes were printed, fell out of use, so coins printed with its use are very rare.

They can be distinguished primarily by the type of hatching that fills the number zero on the reverse. In ordinary coins, the first and last strokes are almost imperceptible, but in old-stamped ones, they are wide and thick.

It is not known how many similar copies were minted, and it is quite possible that such a ten-ruble note is now in someone's wallet.

1 ruble, 2 rubles and 5 rubles 2003

Collectors buy for: 30,000 rubles.

It was considered a fact that in 2003 the Moscow Mint issued exclusively banknotes in denominations of 10 and 50 kopecks. And then in 2006, ruble coins suddenly appeared in circulation, which immediately became a numismatic rarity.

Once they were intended as a gift to delegations who came to the celebrations on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the "Northern Capital". But this idea had to be abandoned, since the souvenir sets for some reason were not formed on time. And for about three years the coins lay in the basements of the MMD, until it was decided to put them into circulation.

A small circulation (no more than 15,000 pieces) guarantees that they will only get more expensive in price.

50 kopecks, 1 ruble and 5 rubles of 2001 issue

Cost: 100,000 rubles.

According to official information, all these coins have never been released into circulation. Nevertheless, some numismatists in Russia are proud of their presence in their collections. These coins are unique, extremely rare, so their price can be significantly higher than the declared 100,000 rubles. Their uniqueness has provoked the emergence of a large number of fakes - however, they are unlikely to be found in the small change compartment of a common man in the street.

A person who is far from numismatics can easily confuse the very expensive (due to its rarity) 1-ruble coin of 2001 of the regular minting with the commemorative ruble issued in 2001 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the CIS. Its price is about two hundred rubles.

Coins of the Saint Petersburg Mint 2016

They are ready to buy for: 300,000 rubles.

Why are they so valuable? In recent years, "ordinary" metal banknotes began to be issued by the Moscow Mint, but commemorative coins were given to the "Northern Capital". That is why “simple” coins of SPMD issue are so highly valued. For example, a set of coins from one to ten rubles, made in 2016.

In Russia, only one such set was found, and then thanks to the Internet auction Wolmar. On it, collectors first saw a lot consisting of 1-, 2-, 5- and 10-ruble coins with the SPMD monogram. As a result, the lot was sold for an impressive amount of 1,277,563 rubles.

Cost: 300,000 rubles.

The rarity and value of the coin can be added by a feature that is almost invisible to the average user. Paying with a ten-ruble coin for some trifle, hardly anyone paid attention to the inscription of the date digits on the coin. But this can play a huge role in determining the rarity of a coin.

In 2013, two varieties of the ten-ruble note were issued - one with the usual outline of numbers, and the second with a font reminiscent of the pre-revolutionary one. If the price of the former coincides with the indicated one, then the price of the latter is many times higher than it. You can find the difference with the usual 10 rubles if you look closely at the number 3 in the date "2013". Her lower part of the tail is straight, while in the standard version the figure ends with a bold dot at the bottom.

Cost: 300,000 rubles.

Another rarity of SPMD production. Interestingly, in addition to ordinary coins, those that had ceased to be issued by MMD by this time were also printed, namely 1 kopeck and 5 kopecks. Very few coins were found.

According to numismatists, SPMD in 2011 minted only 5-6 sets of such banknotes. Perhaps the mint decided to try a new stamp and printed several sets at best, and then - not to waste the good - put them into circulation.

And in 2012, the story with the trial release was repeated, but this time not 1 or 5 kopecks were in free circulation. Perhaps they settled in someone's private collection.

Cost: 300,000 rubles.

One of the most expensive coins in Russia is a myth-coin, which many have heard about, but nobody managed to hold it in their hands. So far, numismatists have had the opportunity to admire her photograph (though large and of good quality) posted on the website of one of the auctions.

It is still unknown whether this is a fake or a real coin. Also, no one knows who owns it now.

Cost: 300,000 rubles.

This coin is more fortunate - no one doubts its reliability. Her story began from the moment of a happy discovery by a Kemerovo numismatist in a sack of change. For his attentiveness, he was adequately rewarded by selling the find at an auction and receiving 300 thousand rubles for it.

Perhaps the coin was part of a test batch issued by SPMD to check new stamps. As a result, it could be sent into use together with a mass circulation of 5 kopecks of the 1998 release. However, in 1999, the Central Bank decided to abandon the mass issue of all denominations, and the 5-kopeck banknote moved into the category of “immediately purchase for collection”.

Since then, no more than five copies have been recorded.

Estimated at: 300,000 rubles.

Why coins in denominations of 5 rubles, issued in 1999, have become such a rarity? The fact is that in the previous two years, so many of them were made that new ones were not required for about a dozen more years. So all coins made between 1998 and 2008 are either prototypes for testing stamps, or souvenir sets with a small circulation.

Here is one of such exceptions - a five-ruble coin of 1999 issue. So far, only four such copies have been found.

The owner, who presented the super-rare coin at a numismatic auction, said that he received it for change during a trip in a minibus. At first, his words were received with skepticism, but then the experts ascertained the authenticity of the coin stamped by the St. Petersburg Mint.

It turns out that you can get rich by accident. So do not be lazy to examine the contents of a purse or piggy bank, suddenly there is a coin that can be classified as rare.
