Who's off, Krause or the seller?

This just seems hugely off to me.

2006 Krause lists it as F: $1.00, VF: $2.00, XF: $3.00, UNC: $8.00

NGC MS64BN starting at $99.95??? I know Russia is hot these days, but YIPES.

I think you have a combination of factors there- Krause is too low on a lot of that stuff, and the seller might be too optimistic.

Yeah yikes... I guess we'll find out which one is off when the auction ends, huh?

Sorry, gotta heavily disagree with Krause prices on Russian coins. That might be a bit expensive but I believe it would sell if it was around 60 USD or something but I could be wrong. Nowadays 1913-1915 silver rubles in UNC blows over 400+USD, even Krause isn't up to date with those prices. Forget the commemorative coins, those are already too outdated.

I really beg your pardon there - that is still an easy find. If you can find pre 1850s coins, including gold, copper, silver and platinum in MS65+ or even in a PROOF condition, you must be lucky because prices are exploding at the moment. I don't know why but it seems that the Russian market is currently hoarding them at almost any price for high grade coins.

If you hate to believe me, you can check molotok.ru which is the Russian version of ebay

Krause is way too low on a lot of the Russian Imperial and German Imperial coins, in my opinion. And I agree- I would've figured that coin in the $60-ish range.
