1834 Russian rouble - eBay question

worldcoinguy · June 6, 2007 11:58AM

I am trying to avoid a shameless SSP, but curiousity has the best of me. I have an ordinary 1834 rouble on eBay right now, ending on Friday night. It is in an ANACS slab at EF-45. The interesting part is the fact that I have over 30 watchers - the most I have ever had on an auction. Am I missing something about this particlar rouble, or is there just that much interest in Russian material right now?

Russia is one of the hottest areas in world coins right now.

I'm guessing you'll see some hefty sniping activity at the end. That's pretty much the way of the world on auctions any more...

Nice coin. Should bring $125.00 - $150.00 I would imagine.

Russia and Poland are blistering hot right now.

Thanks guys - each one more than exceeded my expectations. I hated to let them go, but I just cant justify holding onto them when there are other (i.e. non russian) coins that I can buy in that price range. The kicker is that I bought the 1834 and 1846 roubles together for a total of $105 at a show 6 years ago.

Wow! The coin looked more AU then EF to me, but I didn't think it looked THAT AU.

Nice sale. I was going to bid $200, but forgot to do so. I see it wouldn't have mattered anyway.....
