Current values for Russia, 1914?

spoon

I went to a show Saturday. It was a pretty sizable show with a lot of good variety, surprisingly not too much on the euro front But this show was better than most for another reason: I had focus. Yep, I've finally settled down and picked a narrow topic for the collection. From now on I'll be searching for 1914 dated coins of Europe in best conditions possible. Starting out with the 5 powers and will spread to the colonies and others later. But I'll still be picking up the odd coin here and there.

I need your help! My Krause is a 1993 ed and I don't know how far the prices have gone astray. No, I won't be sticking to the book, but I would like to have a realistic idea of what I'm getting into. If you guys have the time, could you list some of the current prices (US XF+) for these countries and this year? I'll ask one at a time so as to not be too much of a bother.. how about GB first? [Thanks, wybrit!] next, France? [Thanks, Laurent!] ..now I just need Russia!

Sorry about that, Farthing, should've made that clear.

Thanks Laurent!

Hmm.. that's odd though, the prices are mostly the same as 1993. Except the 1F was listed at $35/U and the 5c at $10 with a mintage of 7 million? I wonder what happened??


Now I just need price checks on Russia

Spoon-I looked again and you're right. For 1914 there were two 5 centime issues-the second one was struck in copper-nickel and that is described as rare. The first issue (which I missed) is $1.75 in XF and UNC. $9.00

I rechecked the franc-you have the correct info. as far as my 2003 Krause states it.

Weird. So the prices really haven't moved at all. Even so I bet it'll be tough to find a nice example of the 5c & 10c. This looks to be a good path so far.. the only insanely rare piece that I'll have to exclude (aside from OMSs, etc) is the Italian 5 lire.

Now I'll be bugging you guys with all the pics as I move along
