Leningrad coin set?

rfogg

Does anyone know anything of this set I found in my Grandfather's collection? Sorry for the size of the pic. Still new at this.

Hi rfogg! You have very nice mint set of Soviet coins, which was minted by Leningrad's Mint and besides the comlete set of circulation coins you have also nice rectangular Mint's token/jeton. I bought such token in Leningrad , I think in 1983 or something like that... but mine is circle one, the rectangular looks more cool !

And for the coins, I realize that you know that you have here coins from 1 kopek till 1ruble(1 kopek, 2;3;5;10;15;20;50,1 ruble) if I rember correctly "white"coins made from CuNi, "yellow" ones , I think, from bronze, but not sure about it, should check it in Krause.

What else? The text on the set is written in English--that fact speaks that the set was made especially for foreigners and not for the domestic use.

Nice nostalgy set!

Very sweet set!!!

Thanx for the replies all. I will never (never say never ) as it is sentimental. My grandfather passed and it will take me a couple years to inventory what he left me. Being a newbie at this, these boards have helped tremendously. I will continue to post pics and ask questions as you all seem to enjoy this so much. As do I (at least getting there).
Any idea of what the value of this set might be?

I think that Krause will give the precise price of that set---somebody with the book near the hands here?

Shipcoin

Well, I took the book myself Krause lists it only as $ 8.00 but I'm almost sure that selling such a set at E-bay of for some Russian coins lovers possibe to get twice or may be x3 or x4 of Krause's value. Hope it helps.. and as a memory, sure it costs much , much more, sure!

Thanx Shipcoin,
BTW, I like the name. Do you know of the "Admiral Gardner" coin sunk in Jan. of 1809? I have a couple of East India Company 'cash' coins. Know anything of these?
