Valuable 10 rubles anniversary. The most expensive coins of modern Russia (prices, photos)

Treasure hunters know the value of things and especially coins. In an ordinary thing that an uninitiated person considers unnecessary garbage, a treasure hunter can discern an expensive find. This attitude towards things can also be useful in everyday life, since a valuable find can be made not only in the ground, but also by carefully examining the contents of your wallet.

Interestingly, there are coins in circulation that can cost several times their face value. It is these coins that we will talk about in the following articles on rare coins modern Russia. Let's start our story with commemorative coins from base metals, namely coins of 10 rubles.

The Bank of Russia has been issuing anniversary coins of 10 rubles for monetary circulation since 2000. At first, these were bimetallic coins, which consist of a disk made of copper-nickel alloy and a brass rim yellow color. And later, without stopping the production of bimetallic coins, the Bank of Russia began to issue commemorative coins in denominations of 10 rubles of a new type, for the production of which steel coated with brass was used.

Lists of commemorative coins 10 rubles by series

Commemorative coins are issued within various series or dedicated to certain dates and events. There are the following series of commemorative coins in denominations of 10 rubles:

1) Bimetallic coins:

Series of commemorative coins 10 rubles “Ancient Cities of Russia”

A series of bimetallic commemorative coins of 10 rubles “Ancient Cities of Russia” was started in 2002. Each of the coins is dedicated to one of the cities of Russia, whose history goes back hundreds of years. A total of 32 coins have been issued to date within this series. But the issue of coins within this series has not been completed. The Bank of Russia plans to issue another coin from this series in 2014.

Series of commemorative coins 10 rubles “Russian Federation”

Coins from this series are dedicated to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Issue of commemorative coins of the " Russian Federation"was started in 2005 with the release of a coin dedicated to Moscow. In just 8 years, 33 coins were issued.

According to information posted on the official website of the Bank of Russia, two more bimetallic commemorative 10 ruble coins should be issued in 2013:

• 10 rubles “Republic” North Ossetia- Alanya"
• 10 rubles “Republic of Dagestan”

Series of commemorative coins 10 rubles “Ministries”

A series of commemorative bimetallic coins 10 rubles “Ministries” was issued by the Bank of Russia in 2002 in the amount of 7 coins, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the formation of ministries in Russia. This series of coins is the only complete one, unlike others, which are replenished with new coins every year.

Series of commemorative coins 10 rubles “Cities of Military Glory”

Since 2011, annually the Bank of Russia issues 8 coins of 10 ruble commemorative coins from the “Cities of Military Glory” series

FOR 2013, it is planned to issue coins dedicated to the cities: Vyazma, Bryansk, Kronstadt, Volokolamsk, Naro-Fominsk, Pskov, Kozelsk, Arkhangelsk.

Anniversary coins of 10 rubles dedicated to significant dates

In addition to the coins included in the above series, there are individual coins, the release of which was timed to coincide with significant dates and events. These coins include:

1) Bimetallic:

2) Steel (new sample)

I note that in all the above lists of 10 ruble coins, the abbreviations mean the following:

• SPMD – St. Petersburg Mint
• MMD - Moscow Mint

More accurate information about the circulation, the date of issue of the anniversary coin, its technical specifications(weight, dimensions, detailed description obverse, reverse and edge) you can easily find on the official website of the Bank of Russia. Plans for issuing commemorative coins for subsequent years are also posted there.

So, now we know how many 10-ruble anniversary coins were issued from 2000 to 2012 inclusive. Next, I propose to talk about the cost of commemorative coins and take a more specific look at the prices of some of them.

The cost of anniversary coins is 10 rubles

The cost of 10 rubles commemorative coins consists of several components. Of course, the cost is determined based on the demand for coins. Commemorative coins are unevenly distributed throughout our country. For example, in the Murmansk region, almost 90% of commemorative coins that come across as change are 10 rubles “Polar” from the “Cities of Military Glory” series. Therefore, it will be difficult to sell it in the Murmansk region. But they will gladly buy it several times more expensive than the face value somewhere in southern regions our country. It is this uneven distribution of coins that primarily shapes the market for commemorative coins.

Secondly, coins in AC condition are most valued, that is, those that came directly from the mint and were not in circulation. These coins are also called bag coins. Coins that have been in circulation for even a short time have visible to the eye defects are of little interest to collectors and their value is reduced significantly.

The year of issue also plays a role in determining the cost of 10 ruble anniversary coins. Coins that were minted in the early 2000s are in higher demand than coins that were minted relatively recently. These coins are no longer found in circulation, and since every year more and more more people They are fond of collecting 10 ruble commemorative coins, their prices are rising.

The circulation of the coin is of no small importance. Thus, bimetallic commemorative coins of 10 rubles from the “Ministries” and “Ancient Cities of Russia” series, issued in a circulation of 5 million units, are slightly higher than, for example, coins from the “Russian Federation” series, which are minted in 10 million copies.

I would also like to point out that there are some varieties of coins and rejects that can be sold at numismatic auctions at a fairly high price, but the chances of identifying these coins are quite small.

Thus, today prices for commemorative coins (with rare exceptions) range from their face value to 200 rubles. Moreover, most often the price of a coin does not exceed 30-50 rubles.

The most expensive anniversary coins 10 rubles

A separate conversation about three coins from the “Russian Federation” series of 2010, which for unknown reasons were issued in a very limited edition.

These are 10 rubles “Chechen Republic” (circulation — 100 thousand coins), 10 rubles “Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug” (circulation — 100 thousand coins) and 10 rubles “Perm Territory” (circulation — 200 thousand coins). The cost of these coins exceeds their face value hundreds of times. For example, today a set of three coins (“Chechen Republic”, “Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug”, “Perm Territory” - abbreviated as ChYAP) is sold at a price of 10 thousand rubles. And this is not the limit, prices for these three coins are rising every month.

Due to the fact that prices for coins vary greatly depending on the region of the country, the method of selling it and a number of other factors, it makes no sense to give specific prices for individual coins. In order to get an idea of ​​the cost of a coin, look at the prices of the last lots sold on the Internet and you will find out how much you can expect.

Now look into your wallet! Maybe you have a rare 10 ruble coin “Chechen Republic” or “Perm Region” lying around?

P.S. An entertaining video where a collector of commemorative coins introduces us to his collection of commemorative tens, and also talks about possible ways replenishment of your collection.

There is plenty of information about the rarest and most expensive coins of modern Russia on the Internet, but not every novice numismatist will be able to understand such a huge flow of contradictory information. In this article, in order to systematize knowledge and make it easier to work with it, valuable banknotes are systematized into several groups. In the following lists you can find both collectible rarities worth up to 500 thousand rubles, as well as less expensive items that should be looked for in your cash flow.

To search for rare rubles and kopecks, you need to understand the following mandatory elements of regularly minted metal banknotes:

• Coin denomination marked on back side number and word.
• Year of minting(date of issue) is indicated on the front side, in the lower part (under the eagle on rubles, under the image of St. George the Victorious on kopecks).
• Mint Mark (MD)- letter designation of the enterprise where the banknote was minted: MMD or M - Moscow Mint, SPMD or SP - St. Petersburg Mint.

The following elements are indicated in the photo:

Now you can go through your piggy banks and stashes, armed with the following catalog.

Catalog of the rarest and most valuable coins of Russia

The catalog shows approximate prices for intact coins from XF to UNC.

The auction legends for most of the coins on this list say that they were found completely by accident. But this is hard to believe, since the most expensive copies were minted in only 1-2 pieces. Therefore, you should not hope that you can get them into your collection by going through small change. But everyone has a chance to find rubles from 2003, as well as kopecks from 2017, in their wallet! For example, in 2003, about 15 thousand coins were minted in denominations of 1, 2 and 5 rubles. of each type, and after a few years this money was in circulation, every year there are lucky ones who get these expensive coins.

List of expensive coins

In the following list we have collected less expensive ones modern coins. They are infrequent, their price is over 100 rubles per copy

But when using this table to evaluate coins, one must take into account that it will be relevant for money that does not have significant scratches and abrasions (safety is not lower than “XF” (excellent)), and it is better if they have a smooth surface and shine (“UNC”) . In this case, the cost of the listed banknotes may increase to 1 thousand rubles.

Valuable varieties

Do you want to delve deeper into the study of Russian coins? To do this you will need a magnifying glass and a catalog of varieties. The differences in some varieties are microscopic, and understanding them will not be easy. Although there are simple and at the same time very valuable options, photos and prices, which are shown below.

10 rubles

In 2010, the St. Petersburg Mint used two types of dies for minting tens. The usual version has a pronounced groove between the lines and the inner wall of the zero, while the rare species the lines inside the zero touch its walls. Rare 10 rubles cost about 1000 rubles.

Up to 30 thousand there are tens of 2012 (MMD) with thick extreme lines at zero. In ordinary variants these lines are thin.

Among the chervonets of 2013, you should look for expensive specimens with a three in date with a straight tail looking down (without a thickening at the end). You can sell this option for 300 thousand rubles.

1 ruble

Among the numerous rubles with the date “1997”, you should choose copies with the letters “MMD” and an edge wider than the standard one. A leaf on the side opposite the eagle will tell us whether the edge is wide or not. If it is partially closed, the edge is wide. Such a ruble will cost up to 6 thousand rubles.

In 1998, a version of the ruble with a wide edge was also produced, but its width was slightly smaller compared to 1997, so the edge of the expensive version barely touches the leaf. Price - up to 2.5 thousand.

10 kopecks

If you get your hands on a 2001 SP 10 kopeck coin, then carefully examine the cloak of St. George the Victorious. Longitudinal folds on the cloak will make it possible to sell 10 kopecks for 1-2 thousand rubles.

10 kopecks 2002 SP also has a rare variant. A valuable specimen has an edged bottom sheet, it costs 800-1000 rubles.

5 kopecks

5 kopecks issued in 2002 and 2003 may not have a mint mark. The letterless version of 2002 is estimated at up to 6,000 rubles, the price of 2003 is up to 2,000 rubles.

1 kopeck

The 2004 kopek with the letter M has two options. The more valuable one costs up to 1000 rubles; it has double reins.

Which coins are expensive?

We’ve sorted out the lists of expensive coins by year and valuable varieties, but there are still a number of banknotes that can be sold for significantly more than their face value.

Money without traces of circulation and with stamp shine

Until 2009, rubles were minted on blanks from an alloy of copper and nickel. Such blanks, unlike steel circles used in last years, are distinguished by their softness. After spending even a short time in circulation, such copper-nickel rubles will lose their shine and become covered with micro-scratches. Therefore, among numismatists, rubles from 1997 to 2009 issued in “uncirculated” condition, that is, uncirculated, are especially valued. Their cost is usually above 100 rubles; in some cases, the sale price at auctions reaches 1000 rubles.

Anniversary and commemorative banknotes

All commemorative coins made of base metals that are in circulation are worth more than their face value. The main thing is that their condition is not very deplorable. Thus, 1 ruble with Pushkin costs about 600 rubles, 2 rubles from the 2000 series “Hero Cities” are valued at 100 rubles. And individual anniversary tens cost over 10 thousand. The most expensive ones include 10 rubles of 2010 “Chechen Republic”, “Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug” and “Perm Territory”. There are also very valuable varieties, for example, 2 rubles “Gagarin” without the letters of the coin factory, its price is up to 20 thousand.

Defective and non-standard money

Small sagging, roughness and unevenness on the coin field, as well as poorly visible (unstruck) dates, letters and MD icons, are usually worth nothing. You need to hunt for pronounced unique defects.

More common types of defects, which cost on average from 100 to 1000 rubles, include:

• Stamp split: during minting, the metal of the blank fills the crack in the stamp, so a protruding line is formed on the coin;
• Unminted: The stamp wears out, which leads to leveling of the relief. For example, often there is no date on dozens of 2012. But only coins in which at least one side is almost completely unminted have a value higher than their nominal value.
• Vykus: The circle that has already been punched out is re-punched, so the coin has one or more holes on the edge.
• Turn: One side is rotated relative to the other. Turns of 90 and 180 degrees are considered more valuable.
• Bias: its cause is the incorrect position of the workpiece during embossing, so the image is shifted from the center.
• Sheet edge, chips, chips, stamp contamination and many others.

The following defects are no longer so easy to detect. Their price starts from 1 thousand rubles.

• Multiple Strike: such defects appear due to additional blows to the workpiece with a stamp. The second blow follows with a displacement, the coin loses the shape of an even circle.
• Incidental marriage: it is also called “zalipukha”, minted banknote sticks and acts as a stamp, minting its own image on the next blank, but in a mirror form.
• One-sided embossing.
• Double-sided print: obverse-obverse or reverse-reverse.
• Non-standard blanks: minting coins into blanks of non-standard size, weight, alloy.
• A combination of several types of marriage.

Where to sell?

Do you want to profitably sell rare and valuable coins? Then go to the largest numismatist forums, where you will need time to gain experience and also earn the trust of collectors. And only then will you be able to sell your finds at the highest price remotely at auctions on such forums.

In other cases, you will have to pay a commission. For example, at large auctions it can be up to 30% of the sale price, and resellers can ask for up to 90% for their services.

By publishing advertisements for sale on free message boards on the Internet, you should also not expect to make a lot of money, since wealthy collectors do not buy coins there due to large number scammers among sellers.

We are all familiar with Russian commemorative coins in denominations of 10 rubles. These are bimetallic (two-color) coins, as well as new ten-ruble coins made of steel with a yellow coating, which began to be issued relatively recently.

There are a huge number of such coins in circulation, the release of which is timed to coincide with some anniversary dates or important events our country. For example, in 2011, a commemorative coin of 10 rubles was issued in the amount of 50 million copies, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the first human flight into space. Other dozens may be dedicated to cities and regions of Russia. Like, for example, coins from large commemorative series: “Ancient Cities of Russia”, “Russian Federation”, “Cities of Military Glory”.

Often these commemorative coins of 10 rubles end up in our wallets with change in stores. At the same time, some people save them, while others spend them without hesitation when making purchases. After all, few people know that among the commemorative coins there are very rare and expensive specimens, the value of which at numismatic auctions reaches incredible heights. Let's figure out what factors make up the price of coins, and also make a list of the most valuable and rare anniversary 10 rubles.

Appearance of the coin and its value

When coins enter monetary circulation, they quickly lose their original appearance. They become dull and receive various scratches when in contact with other coins.

Numismatists want to receive 10 ruble commemorative coins for their collection good condition. So they try to get hold of coins that have not been in circulation. Therefore, the cost of coins that were issued 10 or more years ago will be relatively high.

For example, a not very rare bimetallic commemorative coin of 10 rubles issued in 2000, dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the Victory, is now valued at about 600 rubles. But this price is typical only for coins in excellent condition. If you manage to find 10 rubles of the “55th Anniversary of Victory” in your wallet, then it is unlikely that its relief will be as clear as 15 years ago, which means it will be very difficult to sell it at a high price. Coins from 2002, 2003 and 2004 that were not in circulation will be less expensive. Usually, when sold, their price is up to 500 rubles.

The most valuable and expensive coins 10 rubles

The most important factor that determines the value of a coin is its mintage. Among the 10 ruble anniversary coins, there are several issues that were minted in small quantities. These are three very rare coins:

10 rubles "Chechen Republic"

10 rubles "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug"

10 rubles "Perm region"

All these issues were released in 2010. The circulation of issues dedicated to the Chechen Republic and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug was 100 thousand copies each. A little more coins with the image of the coat of arms of the Perm region came out - 195 thousand pieces. All coins were minted at the St. Petersburg Mint.

Most of the issued coins did not reach circulation, falling into the hands of resellers. Therefore, finding these rare and expensive coins is very lucky.

Today, the listed 10 rubles are among the most expensive among non-precious commemorative coins in Russia. Their value is growing year by year.

Currently, 10 rubles “Perm Territory” is valued at 5 thousand rubles, the price of 10 rubles “Chechen Republic” has reached 10 thousand rubles, and the coin “Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug” costs at least 15 thousand rubles.

Rare varieties of 10 ruble coins

From time to time, the mint makes mistakes when issuing coins. For this reason, a number of coins with special features may come into circulation. Such rare varieties and defective coins can be very expensive. For example, it could be a coin without a mint mark or other features.

There is a known rare variety of the 10 ruble anniversary coin “Republic of North Ossetia-Alania”, the edge of which has only 180 corrugations instead of the required 300 notches. This rare variety is valued at more than a thousand rubles.

Video review of the most expensive, valuable and rare commemorative coins of 10 rubles:

More specific information about the cost can be found in the article:

The idea to write this article arose after many questions came to the site. website - Numismatics Online. Many novice numismatists are interested in the question of the value of a particular regularly minted coin. Visitors to the site send photographs of their coins with various mintage features, with a request to clarify their rarity and value. In this article we will look at rare varieties of 2010 10 ruble coins with brass electroplating. Let's start with the fact that the production of 10 ruble coins began in 2009 and only the Moscow (MMD) Mint was involved in their production. And, starting from 2010, the coin was produced both at the Moscow and St. Petersburg (SPMD) mints, and this is where the fun begins.

It is the 10 ruble coins of 2010 that have increased interest among collectors due to the large number of varieties; it is worth noting that among them there are truly rare, and therefore expensive. The characteristics of the 10 ruble coin have not changed since the beginning of their minting; the coins are made of steel with a brass galvanic coating. The coin has magnetic properties and is shaped like a yellow disc. Diameter - 22.00 mm, thickness - 2.2 mm, weight - 5.63 g. The edge is discontinuously ribbed (6 sections of 5 reefs each and 6 sections of 7 reefs each, alternating with 12 smooth sections). There is not a wide edge on the obverse and reverse.
The circulation of the 10 ruble coin in 2010 is not known, but it can be stated with confidence that it was very large; the price of coins of ordinary varieties does not differ from the face value.

Obverse

The design is quite simple, visually similar to other regularly minted coins issued by the Central Bank of Russia. At the top, along the edge, there is the inscription: “TEN RUBLES”; under the inscription, just above the center of the coin, is the emblem of the Bank of Russia and is a double-headed eagle with open wings, the mint’s monogram is located under the right paw of the bird. Below the bank's emblem, from one paw of the eagle to the other, there is the inscription: "BANK OF RUSSIA." A decorative dividing element with a dot in the middle separates the year of minting - “2010” - from the main design.

Reverse

Against the background of vertical hatching, slightly to the left and above the center of the coin field, there is the number “10” indicating the denomination, below the word “RUBLE”. Inside the number “0” there is a vertical hatch in which there are images of the number “10” and the inscription “RUB” that are visible alternately when the viewing angle changes. To the right of the denomination numbers, decorative vegetation is depicted consisting of stems with curved leaves, the same ornamental elements are minted to the left of the number “1”.

Coins minted by the St. Petersburg Mint have one clearly visible variety. On some coins, the shading inside the number “0” in the denomination designation has solid, long strokes (running from one inner side of the number to the other) and does not have a gap between the lines and the number “0” itself. The main part of the 10 ruble coins (SPMD) has these features edged with a depressed line along the entire inner circle of the zero. The price of a rare type of coin, depending on condition, is 1000-1500 rubles.

To date, it is known for certain about six varieties of 10 ruble stamps of 2010 minted by the Moscow Mint. We will carefully consider only four of them, because they are rare and are valued at 600-700 rubles, subject to preservation on the Sheldon scale of at least AU (About Uncirculated). So, take a close look at the mint mark.

Varieties of rare coins 10 rubles 2010

Variety 1. The mint mark is turned slightly clockwise, the inscriptions are further away from the edge.

Variety 2. The mint mark is very thick, located slightly lower than usual, the inscriptions are further away from the edge.

Variety 3. The mint mark is massive, located close to the eagle's paw, all inscriptions and other elements are thicker.

Variety 4. The mint mark is lowered, the inscriptions are distant from the edge.

There are 4 more minor variants of the position of the MD sign, which in in this case are not significant.

To summarize: in order to find out whether your 2010 10 ruble coin is valuable, you need to pay attention to the number “0” if the coin was minted by the St. Petersburg Mint, and to the mint mark if the coin was minted in Moscow.

I hope that this article was useful to you and finally cleared up questions about the rarity and varieties of the 2010 “ten”. Please send your questions, comments and suggestions to: info@site.

The first anniversary and commemorative coins with a face value of 10 rubles appeared in circulation in 2000. Since then, the Bank of Russia has annually organized new issues.

Anniversary tens are produced in two types:

• Two-color (bicolor) coins are distinguished by their larger size. They are also called bimetallic, since they have a nickel silver disk and a brass ring. But since 2017, in order to reduce production costs, expensive alloys have been replaced with less valuable steel. Wherein appearance This anniversary has not changed, since the components of the blanks are covered with the thinnest layer of brass and cupronickel.
• Yellow anniversary 10-ruble coins have been minted since 2010. Their production technology has not changed. The blank for minting is a steel circle with a protective brass coating.

ChNP

Everyone knows the rarest and most expensive issues of 2010 "CHYAP" ("Chechen Republic", "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" and "Perm Territory"). They stand out significantly due to their price compared to others. Their cost, which reaches 15 thousand per copy, is explained by the unusually small circulation.

But there are other rare and valuable anniversary 10 rubles that are definitely worth paying attention to!

Valuable varieties

To simplify greatly, varieties in numismatics are copies of the same issue that have differences in images.

We open the catalog of varieties compiled by the authoritative researcher of Russian coins Yuri Kulvelis, and we see a number expensive options 10-ruble coins valued at up to 15,000 rubles.

Yes, sometimes the differences are so small that it is not always possible to detect them with the naked eye, but it is still worth checking your collections for rare variants. Here are the most valuable of them:

• "55 years of Victory", 2000, SPMD. The inscription on the reverse is distant from the edge. This variety costs 1,500 rubles.
• "Derbent", 2002 The MMD icon is more convex. Catalog price from 4 to 8 thousand rubles.
• "Ministry of Internal Affairs", 2002. The monogram "MMD" is raised, the font on the edge is smaller. Valued at 12,000 rubles.
• "60 years of Victory", 2005, SPMD. On the reverse the inscription is further from the edge, on the obverse the monogram is lower - 15,000 rubles.
• "Leningrad Region", 2005, SPMD. The inscriptions are so close to the edge that the bow of the letter “Y” touches it - RUB 1,500.

Rare types of marriage

What is valued by numismatists? Uniqueness! Each defective 10 ruble coin is unique, which means its price is higher than others.

The most typical types of defects for bimetallic coins are the following; their cost ranges from 1 to 5 thousand rubles. In exceptional cases, when the defects are combined or strongly expressed, the price can rise to 10 thousand rubles.

Inner insert offset

The inner insert is shifted to the edge.

Double cutting

A place for a cupronickel insert was cut out of a brass blank twice. A hole similar to a month is formed between the inner disk and the ring.

Insert or ring bites

Combinations

Combinations of various defects often occur, which increases the value of the coin. For example, in the photo below: two small bites on the ring, double cutting and displacement of the insert, plus part of the edge is smooth.

Mint experiments

The following rare anniversary 10 rubles are classified by numismatists as “custom-made”. Every year the number of such unusual coins is growing rapidly. Nowadays they won’t surprise anyone, so the cost of such extravagant dozens is not high. They are valued at up to 10 thousand rubles.

There was a fifty-kopeck coin in 1924, but it became an anniversary ten:

In this case, the preparation is interesting. It consists of three parts:

And the next 10 rubles are minted on a blank from a 25-ruble coin:

An unusual combination: the reverse of 25 rubles and the obverse of the 2016 anniversary ten.
