Will CAC be stickering these coins?

I knew Lincoln cents were popular!
The small slab makes the Lincoln cent look bigger than it is.

At least they got the date right.
Если вы посмотрите достаточно внимательно, вы найдете наклейку с надписью «Сделано в Китае»
Looks like they got the grade right
Free tracking chip in every slab.
I’ve been wondering if this is what a slab size would be if they fit coins up to an ASE.
It's a good looking holder.
Smitten with DBLCs.
From their website:
Национальный нумизматический реестр (ННР)
Наш центр предлагает осуществить процедуру сертификации монет, которая включает в себя подтверждение подлинности и определение степени сохранности монеты по шкале Шелдона. В процессе сертификации монета взвешивается, производится ее цифровая фотосъемка, а также, при необходимости, описываются ее особенности и недостатки. Вся информация о монете заносится в информационную базу данных Национального нумизматического реестра. После этого монета помещается в пластиковую капсулу (слаб), которая защищает ее от внешних воздействий.
Translated:
National Numismatic Register (NPR)
Our center proposes to carry out a coin certification procedure, which includes confirmation of authenticity and determination of the degree of preservation of the coin on the Sheldon scale. During the certification process, the coin is weighed, digitally photographed, and, if necessary, its features and disadvantages are described. All information about the coin is entered in the information database of the National Numismatic Register. After that, the coin is placed in a plastic capsule (weak), which protects it from external influences.

Well I can tell that they're a modern outfit "...the coin is ..digitally photographed...." but I still I have this feeling they already have my profile and image in the National Numismatic Register

Graded red, eh?
Kudos to them for getting started. Maybe I'm not as skeptic as I should be, but perhaps for the growth of the hobby, having a certification company in the native languages of collectors elsewhere in the world is beneficial.

I imagine some American coin collectors will buy one just for the novelty of it.

lets see if they do crossovers,lol
That was the first thing I noticed... nice play on the English grade designation... interesting that they didn't go with something like СМД65К = Состояние Монетного Двора 65 Красный or А65К = Анциркулейтед 65 Красный.
The coin collecting hobby has no geographical borders. I am not surprised to see a new service, the field is relatively open. They will, of course, have a hill of credibility to climb, if they wish to achieve recognition and compete in the established field. I have a couple of Russian coins... not worth encapsulation. Good luck to the new guys. Cheers, RickO
It'd be nice if they had a translation function for all the content on their site. Maybe they'll appreciate the English collector market. Peace Roy

@BillJones yeah, I don't see that happening for me either. It'll be interesting to see when the first slabs show up on EBay.

I sure wouldn't submit raw coins to this service for obvious reasons but when they show up on eBay I might buy one for novelty reasons assuming it was a coin that I wanted and the price was reasonable.

Yeah, that's krasny, man! 😉
Will their turn around time shipping there and back for grading be faster than pcgs?
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Koins Graded Better . KGB. Trust me , I guarantee I’ll personally see you get my best😳
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
In Russia you do not grade the coins, the coins grade you!
Stalin-Grade or Lenin-Grade? 😉
In communist Russia, the coins grade you.
I'm going to send them my 1959-S Wheatback Penny to get it certified as a "Moscow Mule!"
"Oh, bother!"

If it wasn’t $40 to ship, I’d bite.
It’s my birth year. I’ll wait for a stateside seller 😉
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Love it! Both of you made me laugh!
I'm surprised this is in Nakhodka:
Nice neighborhood,eh?? Corner of nuclear and problem 😳
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Not far from the shoot down of Korean Air 007:
Yeah, $40 shipping for one cent. The postal comrades are off the hook! Nyet. Roy

At least they have fast delivery. They are rushin' shipments. 😀
See how close they are to Japan and Hong Kong? Puts them in a good position to tackle that growing market.
Is there a pop report and a buy-back gaurantee?
Just to close the loop on this thread, I made the seller a very low ball offer and it was accepted. I will post pictures when it arrives (estimated to be March 4th!)
Tim
OK, to officially close the loop....
I received the coin today from the USPS (signature required). It took 13 days from eastern Russian to western California, even with the holidays in the mix and going the long way around (via Moscow and New York to California). I've had first class mail from the midwest take longer:
The slab is tiny. Here is a photo for comparison:
The coin appears to be accurately graded but then again, this purchase was not about the coin.
Tim
The slab is in good condition? No sput-nicks or karl marks? It's not lenin to one side or the other?
Shipping was fairly fast. They weren't stalin.

That's putin it mildly!
I think it would be cool to have a Russian Coin in a Russian Holder.
I’m thinking old platinum 3 rouble.
It's all about what the people want...
Ooh, and for a Russian coin, they might even expedite the pick up andropov.
You guys are killing me!
