This set is exceedingly common. It is the last of the old Soviet style mint sets and
was made in huge quantity for sale all over the world. They were on sale here until
around 1994. These were well made and often have attractive coins but mintages
probably were in excess of half a million.

It was a very tough time for the Russian/Soviet economy and this was one of the means
used to raise hard cash.

Thanks I am checking on these for a friend .I told him I thought they would be worth between $10 and $20 dollars does that sound like im in the ball park?

They really are very common. The Russians flooded the market with them. A reasonable price would be $7-10. I think they originally were advertised here in the mass circulation publications at about $20; they seem to have immediately settled in the secondary market for half that and haven't moved at all since. First and last year of issue sets tend to be overcollected as people believe they're be rare in the future ... so they hardly ever do so with modern coins.

Thanks for the info .Looks like he lost a little on that one,he said he paid $14.50 for it in 1991.
