Which coins will grow in value. Coins that can be sold for big money. Advantages and disadvantages of investing in coins

Ask anyone: "What kind of money is valued in Russia?", And the answer will be: "The higher the face value, the better." But sometimes collectors will gladly exchange small coins of a modern walker for a real banknote with Khabarovsk. And not just one. Let's compile a mini-reference book on valuable and expensive coins of our country.

Valuable coins of Russia

This article does not consider the rarest varieties that can make a specialist in modern coins of the Russian Federation rich, but are not distinguishable to the untrained eye even at high magnification. For those wishing to understand the features of everyday rarities, we recommend that you study the reference books of Yuri Kulvelis and Alexander Stashkin. In addition to expensive items, we will also point out those that resellers are already interested in in bulk purchases (10 - 100 coins). And let us remind you right away: the value we have given has nothing to do with the numbers in the cells of the price tags, according to which numismatic points sell coins, but categorically refuse to redeem them.

“What year are Russian coins valued?” - beginner numismatists often ask. For the USSR, rare years are incredibly easy to name. Any reverse with the date "1947" and "1958" is rare and desirable to the collector. There, the bill goes into tens of thousands, and sometimes into millions. Rare coins of Russia are always considered not only by year, but also by face value. For example, ruble denominations of 2003 are rare and expensive coins. But 1, 5, 10 and 50 kopecks are absolutely not rare and are unlikely to ever become. Do not forget about the mint either: a coin of a specific denomination and year, issued by MMD, is most often mass-produced, and exactly the same, but with the SPMD logo, is sometimes an expensive probe.

Table of valuable coins

The table shows positions that may be of interest for sale. Infrequent coins are highlighted in green, which are sometimes bought in bulk. Yellow - coins in demand. Rarities that can be caught in circulation are marked in orange (except for coins of 2017). Rarities, known in one or several copies, are highlighted in red. Black cells - the denomination of this mint with this date is unknown. For current admission prices, see our catalog of modern coins Russian Federation.

List of expensive Russian coins that you will not receive for change

These are single probes that mysteriously left the mint. They immediately dissolve in the elite ranks of the collection environment and practically do not participate in public auctions. But you need to know about them, because the probability of stumbling upon such a coin, although it tends to zero, is still slightly higher than zero.

• 1999 - 5 kopecks and 5 rubles SPMD
• 2000 - 1, 2 and 5 rubles SPMD
• 2001 - 50 kopecks, 1, 2 and 5 rubles MMD
• 2003 - 1, 2 and 5 rubles MMD
• 2006 - 5 rubles SPMD
• 2011 - any SPMD coin from a penny to 10 rubles
• 2012 - any SPMD coin from 10 kopecks to 10 rubles
• 2016 - any SPMD coin from the ruble to 10 rubles
• 2017 - 1 and 5 kopecks M

In addition, any denominations of MMD from 2010 and younger with non-magnetic properties are valued (the magnet does not attract them). These are "speculative issues" based on the blanks of previous years, which have appeared massively in recent years. Such a wave of "custom products" could have caused the dismissal of the director of the Moscow Mint.

Valuable coins of Russia 10 rubles

Rare and valuable ten rubles of the Russian Federation are only bimetallic representatives of the anniversary. First of all, these are the "Chechen Republic", "Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" and "Perm Territory". If such coins were found in your piggy bank, any of them will bring you several thousand, and YaNAO even more than ten. We do not miss the "North Ossetia - Alania". If this ten has obvious magnetic properties, collectors will give two or three thousand for it. She, with a herd of 25 Sochi rubles (larger notches), is also of interest, although recently her prices have tended to decrease.

It is worth noting the bimetallic tens, which have corrugations on the edge, but there is no standard inscription "TEN RUBLES". Such specimens are not an independent variety, but belong to a coin marriage. But many collectors hunt for such coins. The cost depends on the degree of rarity of a particular position. For example, 10 rubles of 2007 "Arkhangelsk region" without an edge inscription is estimated at ten thousand.

An expensive variety that can be distinguished by eye is the usual dozens of MMDs with the dates "2012" and "2013", the reverse of which is made with a stamp of 2009. The bottom line at zero is a semicircle. Unfortunately, most beginners do not see the difference between a semicircle (lower thick line) and a regular line, under which the next embryo is hiding. This fragment, almost invisible without magnification, is the bottom line, which those blinded by the thirst for quick profit do not notice point-blank.

Valuable coins 5 rubles

Here you need to pay attention to the dates "2002" and "2003". Fives of 2002 ended up in circulation from gutted annual sets. For everyday use, this denomination was not minted, and according to information from experts, 2003 was intended only for the anniversary set for the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg. How much will they buy such fives from you? Copies of 2002 on numismatic forums go in the range of 4,500 - 6,000 (depending on demand and safety). Fives of 2003 SPMD are quoted twice as high (9,000 - 11,000). Prices are as of mid 2019. See our website for current routes. Of the custom-made products, in addition to non-magnetic copies, we note anniversary issues with mixed dates (for example, 5 rubles of the Russian Geographical Society with the date “2016” instead of “2015”).

Reduced circulations of SPMD fives are observed in 2010 and 2013. These five-rouble notes never reached some regions. Therefore, local collectors have to buy them. But in St. Petersburg itself they are often received for change. Preparations for changing the design of the obverse led to the fact that in 2015 MMD minted not so many fives. Gradually, they also become a relatively infrequent position.

Valuable coins 2 rubles

Everything said above about fives is also true for twos in 2002 and 2003. However, another two-ruble position, issued for the 40th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight, holds a high price bar. Both mints worked on the issue, so in the leaf pattern we can see both the rounded MMD logo and the elongated SPMD trademark. But part of the Moscow production went into circulation without any mint designation. If you got such a kopeck piece, then its price is 10,000 - 12,000. However, when selling, get ready to present high-quality photographs (especially the fragment where the logo should be located). Evidence that the mintmark is not hand-polished must be strong.

A two-ruble coin with the date "1999" and the MMD logo stands out from the crowd. A shabby copy among numismatists is sold and bought for a hundred or two. But if we have a UNC state in front of us, the real battle begins at the auction. The price can reach 4,000, because a decent collector always wants to put real perfection in an album. Numismatists also set aside St. Petersburg coins with this date.

In good condition, the 2000 series "Hero Cities" is in demand. Each of the instances can be valued up to several hundred. But it should have a stamp shine and not have the slightest nicks, scratches or other defects. "Kerch" and "Sevastopol", released in 2017, as well as the anniversary kopeck piece "200 Years of Victory in the Patriotic War", are also worth more than face value. But for now it's pretty modest.

Valuable ruble coins

If the 2002 rubles are traded in the same range as higher denominations (4,500 - 6,000 rubles), then the representative with the date "2003" is one of the most expensive coins that you can get for change. By the middle of 2019, depending on the state of preservation, the price of these rubles was in the range of 14,000 - 19,000.

Good luck to catch the change and "Pushkin". Almost the entire circulation went into circulation. Few people put aside this coin at that time. And very in vain. Revolving copies are now traded for two to three hundred, and the safety of "UNC" is estimated at 600 rubles and more. It is also difficult to find the ruble of 2001 “10 years of the CIS”, but it is even more difficult to sell it above a hundred. 100,000,000 copies with the graphic symbol of our currency instead of one are so common that it is almost impossible to attach any of them above par.

Valuable coins 50 kopecks

Excluding the Moscow probe with the date "2001" and St. Petersburg fifty dollars 2011-2012, we can say that there are no rare dates for this denomination. But expensive copies can still be found. First of all, it is worth remembering the Moscow crossing, the obverse of which is minted with a stamp from a patch. Caught coins can be counted on the fingers. Only two copies participated in the auction, reaching at the finish line 81,000 and 61,000 rubles, respectively. About 15,000 non-magnetic pieces with the date "2007" are estimated, as a classic metal crossover. Collectors refer to non-magnetic coins of the second decade as custom-made products, so they give much less for them.

The era of the appearance of colorful weather albums has led to the fact that the sorters of walking bags literally swept away all infrequent coins. And immediately the demand for them increased. And then the prices went up. Of the infrequent ones, 50 kopecks of the 2002 joint venture (20 rubles per copy in the wholesale lot) and 50 kopecks of the 1999 joint venture (15 rubles per copy in the wholesale lot) are now most valued. But in brilliance and without defects, the only such coin can bring several hundred. Perhaps someday St. Petersburg fifty dollars of 2009, 2010 and 2013 will grow in price.

Valuable coins of modern Russia 10 kopecks

Sack pickers consider this denomination the most unpromising. The only zealously sought-after variety, worth about a thousand, is the 10 kopeck 2001 SP, with transverse folds on the cloak. Fans of "orders" get amazing hryvnias, the obverse of which is minted with a kopeck stamp. But these shiny specimens are clearly not caught from circulation. What years should be postponed for the future? Perhaps in a few years 1997 and 1999 will be worth something. In some regions, whose RCCs were supplied with the products of the Moscow Mint, it is difficult for collectors to get hryvnias with the dates "2009", "2010" and "2013".

Valuable coins of Russia 5 kopecks

For certain, the history of the origin of the only known copy of 5 kopecks in 1999 was not found out by the joint venture. According to legend, the coin was found in a pile of nickels from other years by a resident of Kemerovo. This rarity disappeared without a trace somewhere in the collection environment. Its current location is unknown.

But there are other patches, finding which is a great joy and good luck. We are talking about Moscow coins that came out of the mint without the letter "M" under the horse's hoof. The rarest specimens are from 2002. According to the price tag of Taganka, this patch costs 9,000. Real passes for the middle of 2019 slightly exceed the mark of five thousand. 5 kopecks in 2003 without a letter costs more modestly - a little more than a thousand. But still, getting twenty thousand denominations for the 5 kopecks found in the piggy bank is a profitable operation.

Wholesalers are eyeing the 2000 5 kopeck coins of the joint venture. In wholesale lots, the price of a copy is 15-20 rubles. What else is worth postponing? Piglets with the same date, but with the letter "M", 2009 with the letters "S-P" and the very first year of minting - 1997 - are in good condition.

Valuable Russian pennies

In circulation, this denomination is almost never found. Rare positions cannot be found here either (varieties visible only to experts are not considered here). But the numismatic market is beginning to show interest in the wholesale lots of 1997, 1999 and 2009. In 2009, the Bank of Russia, by a strong-willed decision, stopped minting the smallest denominations, so kopecks with the date "2009" immediately became infrequent. At auctions, Moscow kopecks in 2009 cost about 10 rubles. Their St. Petersburg sisters can collect 30 rubles apiece.

A striking exception among kopecks and piglets is the mysterious pair of 1 and 5 kopecks of 2017. The history of their appearance is vague, but experts agree that the number of copies on the market dismisses the hypothesis of the origin of these coins as probes. They usually trade together. Prices start at 15,000 per pair. Sometimes pennies with the date "2017" are displayed separately, but these are rare cases.

25 rubles that can be sold expensive

By minting the first batch of commemorative coins in denominations of a quarter of a hundred for the Sochi Olympics, the Bank of Russia believed that they would become an ordinary anniversary. However, the excitement about the new denomination was so great that it remained a curiosity for ordinary citizens of Russia. Twenty million copies are still gathering dust in the warehouses of numismatic stores, and cashiers at ordinary retail outlets often do not accept twenty-five rubles for payment, refusing to consider them a real coin. The parties are slowly spreading among dealers with a mark-up of a ruble or two to the face value. Therefore, if you hope to sell expensively 25 rubles with the symbols of Sochi-2014 or Football-2018, then you are unlikely to succeed. The exception is colored coins in original blisters with artistic design.

But not all circulations of subsequent twenty-five rubles turned out to be so large. The cupronickel "Carbine" ("World Championship in practical shooting from a carbine") was the first to "shoot". Only 150,000 pieces were produced, of which a third was given to the organizers of the championship for distribution as souvenirs. The price of the "Carbine" rarely fell below a thousand, but sometimes rose to two.

Compared with two tens of millions, the circulation of the new series "Russian (Soviet) Animation" is also quite modest: 450,000 pieces in the usual version and 50,000 in color. "Winnie the Pooh" and "Three Heroes" are usually sold in pairs and cost from a thousand or more. In a special version, the price of each copy reaches two thousand. The third coin "Well, wait a minute!" the price is not inferior to the two previously minted.

25 rubles of 2018 "International Army Games" were issued in a circulation of half a million copies, which is extremely insufficient for the Russian numismatic market. Hence the price of six hundred rubles in the middle of 2019. So, if you got this coin at face value, there is a good chance to earn.

And, finally, a position that no one got for face value. This is 25 rubles of 2018 "Give good to children." The smallest circulation in the history of issuing twenty-five rubles - 50,000 pieces. It is the first commemorative circulating coin not directly intended for circulation, since it was originally offered for purchase with an extra charge of five thousand (a charitable contribution in favor of children). However, at face value should be accepted by any organization. It may turn out to be in circulation by chance, from someone's collection, mediocrely spent by heirs who are not versed in numismatics.

Summing up, let's say with confidence that there are many circulating and commemorative coins of Russia that can bring you significant profit. The main thing is to always remember them and not disregard any of the coins that pass through your hands.

During the period of unstable situation in the financial markets and in the national economies of most states, it became the reason for the reorientation of investors from investing in foreign currency towards reliable investments. These are investments in gold, which has grown in price by 28-29% since the beginning of this year.

At the same time, investments are made mainly in investment coins, and not in bullion. It makes sense to figure out what is the reason for such popularity, and in what kind of metal money it is worth investing your savings.

Investment coins at the peak of demand - why they are more profitable than ingots

Investment coins are banknotes, which are made of precious metals of the highest standard and are used exclusively for saving and increasing money.

The preference of Russian numismatists, who are inclined in favor of acquiring golden and silver pieces, is quite justified:

• Firstly, when buying bullion in Russia, VAT (18%) is charged, such tax requirements do not apply to coins;
• Secondly, an ingot can be purchased at a commercial bank and kept on the account of the same financial institution. VAT is not charged in this scenario, but the option itself looks unreliable, especially during a crisis.

The situation is similar in many other countries. As a result, there is a significant demand for investment coins in the financial market, which has forced the governments of some countries to even start minting additional issues.

What coins should you buy today?

Many investors who first decide to invest their savings in investment grade banknotes are wondering: which is more profitable - silver or gold? A win-win option is precisely the yellow metal. As for silver, it has significant disadvantages:

1. Its growth is unstable and comparatively less than that of gold;
2. Investments will bring tangible profits only if large quantities of metal money are purchased;
3. Such coins easily oxidize in air and darken, which reduces their value. It is necessary to purchase gold coins in special plastic containers, and if possible, do not touch with bare hands (there are special jewelry gloves for this).

It makes sense to consider the most profitable and reliable options for gold investment coins, which are now preferred by experienced investors.

• Australian Kangaroo coin. Issued at the beginning of 2016, it has already increased in price in rubles from 89,000 to 92,000 per copy.
• Austrian Philharmoniker. This original coin has an image of the Vienna Philharmonic, from where it got its name. Previously, it has already been minted in denominations of 10, 25 and 50 euros. However, it was the copy of 100 euros, issued in 2016, that became especially popular due to the intensive growth of its value (from 90,000 to 92,500 rubles);
• The South African Krugerand depicting the profile of the President of South Africa defending the idea of ​​fighting British colonization was minted in 2013. If at the beginning of this year its price was 88,000 rubles, then at the moment it has already exceeded 93,000 rubles.
• The American Bison or Buffalo has been issued every year in quantities of 300,000 since 2006. However, investors' interest in it does not dry out. As a result, since the beginning of 2016, its price has changed from 88,500 rubles to 92,000 rubles.
• Canadian Grizzly - a new coin issued at the beginning of the year, managed to increase in price by 1000-1500 rubles.
• The Chinese Panda is traded on the market in three versions - 2008, 2011 and 2015 issue. All of them also showed an increase in price by 5-7% since the beginning of this year.

All the gold coins discussed above have the same weight, equal to one troy ounce, which makes them convenient to use. In addition, they circulate on the markets of developed countries of the world and therefore are distinguished by a high degree of liquidity, which is also important for an investor.

There is an opinion that investing in coins is definitely profitable, but this opinion is wrong, investing in coins will often be more unprofitable for you than you can save your money. However, there are some coins that grow in price over time, it can even be said that it is profitable to invest free funds in them.

How profitable is it for the buyer to invest in investment coins? It depends on world metal prices. In banks, prices for bullion coins are more stable than for bullion. Banks do not change the rate for coins as quickly as for metal, they prefer to work with coins in a long currency position. Therefore, sometimes a situation arises when coins can be bought more profitably than an ingot of the same weight. During such periods, experienced investors acquire coins. During the recent crisis, coins gave profitability from 18 to 55% per annum. Sometimes the value of a coin when purchased is quite low, this happens when some mints are underestimated, which subsequently become more popular. Then you can get ultra-high profits on these coins. But in order to skillfully play on such a difference, you need to have numismatic knowledge.

Empire gold coins. Gold coins are gold because they will never be worth less than the weight of the gold spent on them. At the same time, gold coins of the Russian Empire are quite rare. Their number is unlikely to increase over time. For this reason, there is an increase in both the gold product and the coin. At the same time, gold coins are relatively easy to store (unlike copper coins), so even after decades they will look the same as they do now.

Gold in the modern world does not serve as a measure of the value of any thing. The price is expressed in inflationary currencies. The current price level is far from the record set in 1980 - $ 1,500 per ounce. For the past 20 years, gold has been in a downward trend. At the end of last year, when analyzing the gold price chart, most investors noticed that gold was the best investment. Over the past 40 years, oil has risen in price by only 25 times, the stock market by 12 times, the price of gold has increased by 35 times. Such trends have allowed the forecasts of the price of gold above $1500 to appear.

Silver coins of the Russian Empire. Buying for investment costs only rare coins and in excellent condition. The main principle of consideration when choosing a suitable coin for investment is whether it is possible to increase their number on the market. If the coin is relatively frequent, even in good condition, then their number, thanks to treasure hunters, gradually increases. Rare coins, even if they pop up somewhere, are in very small quantities.

Copper coins of the Russian Empire. For some reason, these coins are the most invested in, believing that the “old coin” will always be in value. Meanwhile, the price of copper coins has almost halved compared to 2008. But, it is quite possible to invest in some coins and even get some money from it in the future. Naturally, these coins should only be in excellent or very good condition. These coins include: “drum kopecks”, rare varieties of “ring nickels”, coins of 1796 (which are rare).

It is absolutely not worth investing in various dug up copper coins in poor condition ...

What are the best coins to invest in for a beginner?? Experts do not advise starting with expensive collectible coins. It is best to purchase investment coins with the optimal ratio of the value of the coin to the amount of precious metal. Here you need to be able to correctly assess the prospect of investing a coin - take into account the circulation of the coin, the specific gravity of the precious metal and other parameters.

A few tips when buying coins:

The right choice of coins for investment can lead to tangible results in 2-3 years, and not in a hypothetical 50 years. Of the Euro sets, there are some very rare ones that can be purchased. Simple not rare sets should not be purchased for the purpose of investment.

It is necessary to focus on expensive and rare coins issued in small editions.

Pay attention to some euro coins issued for circulation in a small circulation, they already cost ten times more than their face value, and will rise in price every year.

If you still acquire modern investment coins, you need to follow certain rules in order for the investment to become successful in the future.

• Always keep the coin in the package without opening it.
• Remember that when selling a coin, you will need to spend money on an appraiser.
• Keep in mind that if there is an urgent need to sell a coin, it can be handed over to the nearest pawnshop at the price of scrap: the price may be lower or higher than the bank one.
• It is better to buy one large coin than several small ones: it is easier to sell it later.
• Buy better original coins.
• Remember that when exporting coins from the country, certain rules are established, which should be familiarized with in advance.

It is believed that if you invest free capital (as if investing) in coins, you can get a good profit over time. This opinion is erroneous, investing in coins will often be more unprofitable for you than you can save your money. However, there are some coins that grow in price over time, it can even be said that it is profitable to invest free funds in them.

It is extremely not worth investing your capital in various dug out copper coins, coins of the early USSR, in cheap foreigners, modern jubilees.

For 20 years, the Bank of Russia has been issuing ordinary and commemorative coins made of non-precious metals, among which there are truly rare specimens worth several thousand rubles. Currently, most of them are in the hands of collectors who exhibit them at numismatic fairs or keep them carefully at home. However, the chance to find, for example, 50 kopecks of 2001 or 2 rubles of 2003 among the usual trifles remains now.

The rarest coins of Russia

Every year, the cost of commemorative and rare coins of Russia increases by several thousand rubles. Their price consists of several parameters: circulation, year of issue and safety. For the rarest specimens, even with minor defects, numismatists are ready to lay out amounts several times higher than the market value of the coin. For example, the price of and since the release has increased by about 4-5 times.

5 rubles 1999 SPMD

from circulation. Most likely, it was minted as a trial version, but for some reason it fell into circulation. Here is what they say about her in one of the programs of Channel One:

At first glance, an ordinary five-ruble coin, quite modern. But its owner rarely allows anyone to touch her, unless he shows a photo to confirm. The original is a special protected value. In 1999, the St. Petersburg Mint stamped tens of thousands of her twins, for the whole of Russia, just a meager circulation. From it, only one coin fell into the hands of numismatists. Where the others are is a mystery.

Currently, only two such coins have been found in circulation, and the cost of the latter upon purchase has reached 150,000 rubles.
