Expensive coins with a face value of 10 rubles. The most valuable, rare and expensive coins of Russia

Notes 1. 25-ruble coins with a color design are not distributed through cash circulation channels, but through sale to collectors, and therefore are not directly intended for cash circulation. But they can get there, since in all respects they coincide with similar 25-ruble coins without a color image that were put into circulation.
2. June 17, 2014 released commemorative coin made of base metal (brass) with a denomination of 10 rubles "Russian athletes-champions and medalists of the Games XXX 2012 Olympics in London." The coin was issued with parameters that differ sharply from coins of the same denomination for circulation, so it is unlikely to end up in cash circulation. Coin weight - 292.00 g, diameter - 75.0 mm, thickness - 8. 50 mm. Circulation - 500 pieces, minted on MMD.

Information from the press service of the Bank of Russia was used.

Treasure hunting and numismatics almost always went hand in hand. Many people, initially engaged in excavations and searching for coins, subsequently turned into avid numismatists! The 10 ruble anniversary coins are proof of this, which will be discussed today.

But numismatics is also subject to “fashionable” trends. If previously the main focus was collecting representatives of ancient times, now there is a significant increase in the trend towards collecting 10 ruble commemorative coins. The anniversary representative is a ten-ruble penny made of bimetal, which is minted with the names of cities, regions and other names and dates.

Commemorative coins 10 rubles and the history of their appearance

What is most surprising is that before this class did not bother anyone at all: people came across them in one situation or another and no one paid attention to them, did not imagine that after a while a huge number of avid numismatists would be hunting for them! But now “anniversaries” are a rarity and unlimited value for a collector, since this type is becoming less and less common.

With such a rush and demand for ten-ruble notes You can make a lot of money for the common man. When you receive these species for rent, you can put them up for auction and sell them to collectors (and there will certainly be some!) for a price significantly higher than their real value!

The cost of “anniversaries” is constantly increasing, as demand creates supply. A few years ago such a bimetallic penny could be sold for twenty rubles, but now its price will be 150-200 “wooden” rubles!

To make money on the sale of anniversary copies, you should know their circulation, varieties and demand from collectors!

There is a rule of “numismatists”: The smaller the circulation, the more valuable it will be! This postulate must be taken into account when deciding on the purchase and sale of commemorative coins.

Don’t forget about the mint, since previously they were minted by both the St. Petersburg (SPMD) and Moscow (MMD) mints. Depending on this, the cost of ten rubles also varies. A variety minted in St. Petersburg can be an order of magnitude more expensive than a similar one, but made in Moscow.

2000

The year 2000 is the countdown for the minting of “anniversaries”. It was this year that the first copy was created and dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the Great Victory. Circulation 10 million, cost 60-90 rubles.

Every year the number of people collecting anniversary tens is growing. Those who have been interested in collecting since the first issue can easily understand commemorative series, mints, and also know which ones are the rarest and most expensive. Those who started collecting them relatively recently find it difficult. After all, for recent years More than a hundred different coins with a denomination of 10 rubles were issued. Some of them were dedicated to round dates, while other dozens were produced as part of commemorative series. In the article we will talk about the classification of these banknotes, as well as their numismatic value.

10 rubles: bimetallic and steel

On the territory of Russia, there are tens of two types of anniversary coins in circulation:

List (catalog) of bimetallic coins

Below are full list(catalog) broken down by series, indicating the year of issue and mint. In the list, the abbreviation SPMD means the St. Petersburg Mint, and MMD means the Moscow Mint. The trademark can be found on the obverse, at the bottom of the nickel silver disc.

Series "Ancient Cities of Russia"

The first ten from the series “Ancient Cities of Russia” was released in 2002. From 2002 to 2016 inclusive, the Bank of Russia published 37 issues dedicated to the ancient cities of our country.

Series "Russian Federation"

The coins of the "Russian Federation" cycle are dedicated to the regions of our country. The reverse depicts the coats of arms of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This is the largest series to date. From 2005 to 2016 inclusive, the Bank of Russia, as part of its structure, issued 42 banknotes.

In 2017, we can expect the release of ten new ones: “Ulyanovsk Region”, “Tambov Region”. And in 2018, it is planned to produce an anniversary celebration dedicated to the Kurgan region.

Series "Ministries"

The “Ministries” cycle, consisting of only 7 issues, was published in 2002. The series is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the formation of ministries in Russia.

Non-serial releases

Several bimetallic 10 ruble coins were issued outside the framework of large commemorative series; their release was associated with the upcoming significant events for our country, for example, such as the 2010 All-Russian Population Census, or with round dates.

List (catalogue) of steel chervonets

Since 2010, the Bank of Russia began issuing new-style anniversary chervonets. They were smaller in size, minted from steel and plated with brass, which gave the coins a characteristic yellow color.

Series "Cities of Military Glory"

The “Cities of Military Glory” series began in 2011. To date, 48 coins have been issued as part of this series. But the list of cities that have received this honorary title is updated every year, so it is too early to talk about the end of the cycle.

Catalog (list) of "Cities of Military Glory":

Non-serial releases

10 ruble steel coins are issued not only as part of the above-mentioned series, but also in anniversary dates. The table shows all such releases:

In 2018, we should expect two issues that will be dedicated to the XXIX World Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk.

Cost (approximate prices)

Prices for 10 ruble commemorative coins are growing year by year. It would seem that banknotes produced in quantities of 5-10 million copies could well satisfy the demand of all collectors in the country. But numismatists are interested in buying only well-preserved specimens, the number of which decreases over time, since a significant amount of money suffers from careless handling and improper storage. Prices have increased especially sharply for issues of the past decade, which are almost impossible to find in circulation these days.

Cost of bimetallic coins

Below are approximate prices. They are relevant for copies in the UNC state of preservation, that is, which have not been in circulation. Their actual value may differ greatly from the indicated value, which will depend on the method and place of sale, the degree of preservation and other factors. Nevertheless, these figures can serve as a guide for the initial assessment.

• The cost of "55 Years of Victory", issued in 2000, depends on the mint mark. Copies with the MMD badge are valued at 60 rubles, with the SPMD mark - about 100 rubles.
• The price of 10 rubles "Gagarin" 2001 also depends on the mint mark: MMD - 70 rubles, SPMD - 120 rubles.
• Coins from 2002 are valued at 120 rubles.
• The cost of copies of the “Ancient Cities of Russia” series, minted between 2001 and 2009, ranges from 150 to 200 rubles.
• Issues of the series "Russian Federation" 2005-2008. can be sold at prices ranging from 30 to 50 rubles.
• Copies of "60 Years of Victory" 2005, released in an edition of 60 million pieces, are sold at a price of up to 50 rubles.
• Dozens of "Ancient Cities" 2010-2016 sold on average up to 100 rubles. per coin.
• Regions of 2010: "Nenets Autonomous Okrug" - 300 rubles, "Perm Territory" - 3 thousand rubles, "Chechen Republic" - 8 thousand rubles, "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" - more than 10 thousand rubles.
• The cost of the 2010 Population Census is 300 rubles.
• Chervonetsy with coats of arms of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation 2011-2016. are estimated at an average of 30-50 rubles.
• The price of 10 ruble coins of 2015, dedicated to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, usually does not exceed 30 rubles.

As you can see from the list, there are three editions that have a very high price. They were released in 2010 and belong to the “Russian Federation” commemorative series. For reasons that are not stated, the circulation of these coins turned out to be very small, which affected their value:

Price of steel chervonets

Steel anniversary chervonets with brass coating do not have a high cost. The price of coins of this type rarely exceeds 30 rubles. The exception is a dozen of 2010 “65 Years of Victory”, which can be sold for 100 rubles.

What does the cost depend on?

There are a number of factors that significantly affect the value of commemorative coins. Beginning numismatists need to keep them in mind in order to correctly evaluate.

1. Degree of preservation. Copies even with minor abrasions will be valued several times lower than coins that have retained their original appearance. Here we must remember that under no circumstances try to make the banknote shine on your own. In most cases this will reduce the cost even further. For cleaning, you should use only specialized products, and it is better to entrust this process to a specialist.

2. Rare variety. Within the same release, specimens may be found that have slightly perceptible differences. There are numismatists who classify such differences. They are interested in identifying all the existing varieties. Some varieties are common, others less common. The cost of rare ones can reach impressive figures. For example, the 10 ruble coin of 2000 “55 Years of Victory” (also called “Politruk”) with the SPMD stamp has several varieties, one of which is valued at more than a thousand rubles.

The photo shows how to identify a valuable variety:

3. Coin with a defect. In the coin business, as in any other industry, defects occur. Defective coins have a defect that makes them unique. There are various types coin defect. Such types of defects as rotation, unmarked, scratched stamps are common and are usually not highly valued by collectors. More expensive are products with a split stamp and a bite, especially if they are pronounced. There are also specific defects among bimetallic chervonets. For example, defective insertion or double cutting.

The photo below shows a coin with a displaced insert, sold in 2016 at auction for 10 thousand rubles:

Where is it profitable to sell anniversary chervonets?

As mentioned above, coins that have a high degree of preservation are highly valued. Rare varieties or money with defects can also be sold profitably. For the rest of the chervonets, especially those that were withdrawn from circulation, finding a buyer is not so easy. Nevertheless, if desired, such instances can be implemented.

You can sell them in the following places:

• in numismatist clubs that exist in all major cities,
• in numismatic stores,
• on the Internet (on forums, auctions, social networks and so on).

It is necessary to understand that the final cost will depend on the terms of sale. Typically, the highest price can be offered at numismatic auctions on the Internet. If a coin is offered at a well-known auction, then several collectors may compete for its possession at the same time, which will undoubtedly lead to a high final cost of the lot. If you want to sell a coin quickly, you should contact resellers who will take on the job of finding a collector willing to purchase it. You should not expect that such a reseller will offer a very high price for it.
