Coins ten rubles anniversary. Which coins are considered the most expensive. "Ancient cities of Russia."

This article will talk about rare commemorative ten-ruble coins. They are called rare because they were minted in a print run less than planned. Therefore, such coins are almost never found. But it should be noted that other commemorative coins issued in large numbers are also extremely rare in circulation.

The most expensive anniversary 10 rubles

Among the rare jubilee dozens, only four should be preferred. The tariff for them is the highest of the group of coins “Russian Federation”; they were issued in 2010 in small runs. Initially, the Bank of Russia counted on the release of each coin in the amount of 10 million pieces, but for unknown reasons, this number was reduced, which in turn led the numismatists to collect new collections. Perhaps it was the Bank of Russia that presented this kind of gift to its collectors so that they don’t sit idle.

We consider the rare 10 rubles in order to increase their prices at auctions and numismatist forums

10 rubles Nenets Autonomous Okrug

Coins with a face value of 10 rubles are present in the wallet of literally every resident of Russia. The high use of monetary units of this denomination is explained by the daily small expenses of the average Russians, including fare, a snack or a simple exchange of more expensive bills, which are extremely convenient for ten rubles. However, many of you do not even realize that sometimes among a handful of these coins, habitually stored in pockets of jackets and purses, there may be especially rare specimens, the cost of which often exceeds their face value at times, if not tens of times.

The reality is that the rarest things are often the most valuable. Monetary units did not become an exception to the rules for the very reason that the Bank of Russia often issues a limited edition of commemorative coins dedicated to the anniversary of a significant event. Such currency units differ from the main series in their design, because decorated with special drawings corresponding to the holiday or other topics. In light of this, there is even a separate hobby called numismatics, which is a person’s love for collecting unique copies of coins. In the Russian Federation, as in many other countries of the world, even special auctions are held for numismatists, at which they sometimes give really enormous sums for some rare monetary unit issued in a limited edition fifteen years ago.

However, if you are now thinking about rummaging through all your savings in search of a potential treasure, then we hasten to upset you: the value of a rare 10 ruble coin is determined not only by its circulation, but also by the state at the time of sale. Indeed, as you move from hand to hand, the engraving of the monetary unit inevitably disappears and loses its former luster, from which the appearance of the coin inevitably suffers. Of course, the most expensive copies that go under the hammer, bring the former owners a lot of money due to the fact that they look like they left the mint's machines yesterday. If for each of them they willingly give over tens of thousands of rubles, then it is not difficult to guess that we are talking about the whole millions that enterprising collectors earn at auctions. Getting expensive coins of 10 rubles is not easy in itself, not to mention finding them in perfect condition. However, even despite this, do not despair, because in addition to the rich bidders there are many much more modest numismatists who are willing to pay well for rare coins, including a ten-ruble denomination. You can find out below how to identify among the contents of your piggy bank and wallet a unique product of the RF Mint.

NJP: Three Leaders

Open a list of rare ten-ruble coins should be one of the most expensive non-precious specimens, even received the common name - CNP.

   The abbreviation was formed from the first letters of the name of the three bimetallic coins of 2010 of the year of issue

Chechen Republic
  Circulation: 100 thousand copies
  The cost of one unit: 10 thousand rubles

Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug
  Circulation: 100 thousand copies
The cost of one unit: 15 thousand rubles

Perm region
  Circulation: 195 thousand copies
  The cost of one unit: 5 thousand rubles

Expensive ten-ruble coins were issued in 2010 and at first did not cause much interest among numismatists. It was possible to purchase one of these copies for 500 rubles, which nevertheless did not disdain novice collectors. However, the picture changed radically when the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published information about their limited edition, which instantly created a huge demand for CNN coins and caused a steady increase in their value, which continues to this day.

At the moment, the chance to find any of the above 10 ruble coins at the box office in good condition is completely negligible. Almost all copies have long been bought up by dealers and collectors, so before reaching the store shelves, that leaves no chance for the average Russian citizen to accidentally stumble upon them. However, numismatists are always ready to part with one or more copies of unique mint products, however, be prepared to lay out an amount in the region of five to twenty thousand rubles per unit.

Series "Russian Federation"

Starting in December 2005, the production of a strictly limited edition of rare ten-ruble coins dedicated to the regions and regions of the Russian Federation began. The specimens looked as follows: the reverse of the bimetallic coin was made in a standard design, indicating its face value, while the emblem of one and the regions or districts of the Russian Federation was depicted and signed on the reverse.

This series was opened by rare ten-ruble coins dedicated to the Leningrad, Tver, Oryol regions, Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Tatarstan, with coats of arms engraved on their obverse. Then, in 2006, the series continued with the minting of five more coins, this time with the emblems of the Sakhalin Oblast, which existed back then, in the Chita, Republic of Sakha, Altai and Primorsky Krai. Then, in April 2007, the collection was replenished with products in the Rostov and Novosibirsk regions, the Republic of Bashkortostan, and in the summer of that year, the Lipetsk region, the Republic of Khakassia and Arkhangelsk. Thus, the issue of expensive 10 ruble coins continues, dedicated to the largest and most important regions of the country. Famous copies of CNP also belong to the same series. However, unlike the expensive trinity, these coins are sold with an average cost not exceeding 60-100 rubles.

Mints

Famous mints - Moscow and St. Petersburg - are responsible for the issue of jubilee ten-ruble coins in the Russian Federation, belonging to which on the product is marked with engraved marks “MMD” and “SPMD”, respectively.
  However, far from always the production of a series of commemorative coins dedicated to a specific event is entrusted to only one of the mints. Several series of jubilee products are known, the production of which was equally adjusted both in Moscow and in St. Petersburg, which led to the emergence of another series of unique ten-ruble coins.

  The bimetallic coins “60 years of Victory” and “Gagarin” have different prices, depending on the brand of the manufacturer. Thus, for a copy labeled "MMD" you can get 600 rubles against 250 for the same coin issued in St. Petersburg.

"Ancient cities of Russia"

Another series of ten-ruble coins dedicated to the regions of Russia. However, this one, which was born earlier, is dedicated not to the modern, but to the old cities of our homeland and, starting from the year 2002, included the coins “Borovsk”, “Derbent”, “Kostroma”, “Azov”, “Smolensk”, “Solikamsk”, “Staraya Russa”, “Pskov”, “Dorogobuzh”, “Murom”, “Mtsensk”, “Kaluga”, “Galich”, “Vyborg”, “Belozersk” and “Nerekhta”. This series will interest both collectors and historians, and ordinary citizens who will be interested to learn about the cities that once existed in Russia. In view of the fact that among the items listed there are not enough expensive coins, they will play a more symbolic role in the collection, as a reminder of the rich history of our country.

Unique coins

Not always a deviation from the norm is a drawback. So the rarest 10 ruble coins in fact often turn out to be not jubilee items issued by the mints in a limited edition for any of the significant events, but ordinary everyday monetary units, in the production technology of which a certain error occurred, which led to their slight difference standard coins. For example, 10 rubles of 1993 is a valuable copy in view of the unusual manufacturing technology.
Just the desire to save on the production of 10 ruble coins led to the fact that by 1993, in their manufacture, instead of the copper-nickel alloy, mints began to use steel, which led to the appearance of magnetic properties in monetary units, which were not noted in the previous material. As far as we know, most of the coins created at that time were issued with the stamp of 1993, against a small batch of products from an old copper-nickel alloy dating from 1992. In view of the uneven distribution of circulation, the most common use was the “non-magnetic” coins of the Moscow Mint. Due to this, a product made of a copper-nickel alloy of the same 10 ruble denomination of 1993 from Leningrad came to our eyes much less often, which is of much higher value nowadays.
  Steel 10 rubles can also be sold, but they will not be in great demand. In most cases, you will not be able to sell it for more than one hundred rubles. The collector can increase the price if there is an obvious manufacturing defect on the coin, such as the presence of a convex strip on it, called the "stamp split". In this case, there is a chance to sell the product at auction for about a thousand rubles.

As for those very exceptional monetary units from the Leningrad Mint, which are not amenable to the action of magnets, here prices rise significantly. Hammer collectors willingly give for such products from three to six tens of thousands of rubles, which indicates the exclusivity and rarity of 10 ruble magnetic coins made of steel.

“Significant dates of Russia”

As well as a series of coins dedicated to cities, this one reflects the most significant events in modern history, which have significantly affected our country. These jubilee dozens consist of 12 different bimetallic variations, sequentially produced in different years:
  • “60 years of the Great Victory”. One of the most famous jubilee ten-ruble coins was issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in 2005, right on the anniversary of the end of the war. On the reverse, you can observe a star with a flame of sorrow, a St. George ribbon and an engraved inscription "Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten."

• "40 years of the first space flight." The jubilee coin, issued in 2001, as a reminder of the ambitious feat of Yuri Gagarin, the first person to see the Earth from space. The face of the brave astronaut is depicted on the reverse of the coin, along with his autograph and the engraved date of the famous flight - April 12, 1961.

• “The 20th Anniversary of the Constitution of the Russian Federation” was timed to coincide with the entry into force of the text of the new Constitution of the Russian Federation of December 25, 2013, which has been drafted over three years. On the reverse of the coin is a constitution with the coat of arms of the Russian Federation and the corresponding inscription.

• "70 years of the Battle of Stalingrad." Released on May 24, 2013, the coin reminds us of the feat and sacrifice of two million people who laid down their lives in the bloodiest battle of the Great Patriotic War and broke the Nazi offensive, which knew no obstacles until that moment.



  • “The 200th anniversary of the victory in the Patriotic War of 1812”. In 2012, this coin was issued in honor of the anniversary of the victory over the French conquerors of Napoleon. On the reverse side of the coin is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, installed there after the defeat of the French emperor in his war, and also after the Russian troops entered his capital.

Anniversary 10 ruble coins are probably the most popular material for numismatist collections in Russia. From children to pensioners, two-tone dozens are collected, someone just indiscriminately puts them in a jar, but someone who, in my opinion is more correct, carefully collects them in mints and stores them in special albums. In general, the cost of these coins does not exceed 100 rubles, however, there are coins whose price is significantly higher than on, seemingly the same kind of coins. Let me remind you that the value of a coin is formed based on the safety of the coin and its circulation. It was the circulation that caused the rise in prices for some commemorative 10 ruble coins. Let's look at the most expensive coins of this type.

The three leaders, in terms of cost, among Russian bimetal even have their own name - CNP. This name was formed from the first letters of the coins included in the top three most expensive: 10 rubles Chechen Republic, 10 rubles Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Perm Territory. These coins were initially no different from the rest of the bimetallic coins, and when they were officially put into circulation, they could be purchased at a cost of up to 500 rubles, some caught them even in circulation, however, as soon as the Central Bank of the Russian Federation specified the circulation of these coins, prices instantly jumped up. At the same time, the prices of these coins are still growing. And every year these coins are becoming more and more expensive. So, if, for example, in December 2011 a coin of 10 rubles from the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug could be bought for 3,000 rubles, then in December 2012 the average cost became 5,000 rubles. It is worth describing all the coins in descending order of price in more detail:

10 rubles Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug

The most expensive of all the bimetallic 10 ruble jubilee coins to date is 10 rubles in 2010, Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, I repeat, the cost of this coin today exceeds 5000 rubles, 5000 is the lowest price that I saw today at auctions and numismatist forums. The circulation of the coin is 100,000 pcs. But I tell you exactly, the value of this coin was clearly formed not only because of the circulation, and the price is clearly too high.

As evidence, I will cite the following fact: the coin of 2010 in the Chechen Republic has exactly the same circulation, but the cost is significantly lower, namely 3000 rubles for today, ask why, in 2012 there was a dump of the Chechen ten, that is, there was a seller, or a number of sellers that started to pour coins in the Chechen Republic for 2000 rubles, or even lower, but there wasn’t such a dump in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, that is, what I want to say, there are enough of these coins, someone stores them in bags and just doesn’t let them out their circulation, that is, circulation is not worth it . According to rumors, at the time, some very enterprising people bought up the entire circulation at face value, and thereby established a stir and their prices for these coins. Think unrealistic? Really, let's count. 100,000 coins with a face value of 10 rubles will cost the buyer at face value only 1 million rubles, provided that from this million you can raise a good, even very good profit, selling coins 300-400 times more expensive than the face value, I think there are people who want it.

Next comes a dozen of Perm Krai bimetal, the circulation of this coin is slightly higher, namely 300,000 coins, the cost today is 1200 rubles per coin in perfect quality. In 2011, this coin was widely sold at 300-500 rubles per piece. And even then, personally, I was not ready to give even this amount for a given coin.

There is an official set of coins that contains all of the above coins, when this set just went on sale, its value did not exceed 6,000 rubles, now this set has reached the value of 15,000 rubles. The set includes 4 coins of 10 rubles. Chechen Republic, 10 rubles. Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 10 rubles. Perm Region, 10 rubles. Nenets Autonomous Okrug and token of the St. Petersburg Mint.

By the way, a 10 ruble coin to the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, it also does not cost a face value but more, to be exact today its cost is 200 rubles. Of course, this is not commensurate with the cost of the remaining coins from the set, but still it was worth reporting it.

Collecting is a fun experience. Numismatists in Russia are well aware that the cost of the most expensive 10 ruble jubilee coins can be quite high. Specimens in “bagged storage” that are not in circulation and have their original appearance are especially valued. You can always find out the price of such copies and purchase an anniversary collection in our online store.

Which coins are considered the most expensive

• The most expensive are ten-ruble money, which are issued in a limited edition, that is, less than originally planned.
• In particular, 10 rubles in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is valued by Russian numismatists and its cost is quite high.
• Ten-ruble Chechen Republic is sold slightly cheaper and ranks second in value.
• No less valuable is the 10 ruble coin Perm Territory.
• If commemorative coins have never been in circulation and are bag-safe, their value increases approximately 50 times.
• Next in descending order is Politruk, released on the 55th anniversary of the Great Victory, Gagarin, on the 40th anniversary of the flight into space.
• Of the series of ten rubles, the “Census” is considered the most valuable.

As a rule, most of the copies are in home collections. No less is stored in people who are far from numismatics and for them only the total number in the piggy bank is valuable. This creates a deficit, which in turn leads to higher prices.
