Pre-1920 Russian Gold Coins: The Most Treasured Russian Coins


By Christina Goldman | March 30, 2010
Serious collectors collect gold and silver coins from a multitude of countries and time periods. Some of the most popular coins in many investor portfolios are the pre-1920Russian gold coins.
Russian Imperial gold coins, available in years from 1897 to 1909, are considered to be a solid and safe investment. Whether gold coins were issued as rubles, multiples of rubles, or in older versions of gold called ducats, novodels or gold kopeks, the demand for Russian gold coin samples has always outweighed supply.
Pre-1912 era Russian gold coins are generally available in denominations of five rubles, 10 rubles, and 15 rubles. Some of the more favored pure Russian gold coins include but are not limited to:
Alexander III – Gold 10 Markkaa 1882
Nicholas II – Gold 20 Markkaa 1912
Nicholas II – five rubles 1897
Nicolas II – five rubles 1898
Nicolas II – five rubles, 1900
Measuring anywhere 18 mm with a .1244 gold content, the five rubles minted between 1895 to 1911 are not so easy to find any longer. Gold 150 denomination rubles measuring in at 29.5 mm, with a .5000 gold content, Russian coins are a solid investment of minimal expenditures for most collectors and investors.
Though more simplistic in design than many gold coins, Russian gold coins favoring busts of Nicholas II are favorites in a multitude of denominations.
Imperial Russian gold coins are a must-have for most collectors and investors interested in the history and legacy left by gold coin minting throughout the world. Owning pre-1920 old Russian gold coins are a great addition to any collection that will be treasured for years to come.

Canadian Copper Pennies - Copper Bullion

The end of circulation for the Canadian penny in Feb 2013 spelled the end of an era in coinage.  The transition went very smoothly, without public or business protest.  The government expects to save millions each year by no longer making pennies and businesses will save because they will no longer have to stick and count pennies. Lots of expression will no longer make sense. No more "penny for your thoughts" or "saving your pennies".  Cash transactions are now rounded to the nearest nickel.  Electronic transactions continue to be processed to the penny. But what of all those billions of pennies no longer needed?  All the pennies from 1997 to 2013 are made from a zinc or steel core covered in a little bit of copper.  They have no real value except rolled and returned to any bank.  If you have $25 work, skip rolling your pennies and get a free penny bag from the Royal Bank, Scotia Bank or maybe one of the other big banks (but not BMO as they do not carry the pen
