Which 10 ruble coin is the most expensive? Helpful information

Notes 1. 25-ruble coins with a color design are not distributed through cash circulation channels, but through sale to collectors, and therefore are not directly intended for cash circulation. But they can get there, since in all respects they coincide with similar 25-ruble coins without a color image that were put into circulation.
2. On June 17, 2014, a commemorative coin made of base metal (brass) with a face value of 10 rubles “Russian athletes-champions and medalists of the Games” was issued XXX 2012 Olympics in London." The coin was issued with parameters that differ sharply from coins of the same denomination for circulation, so it is unlikely to end up in cash circulation. Coin weight - 292.00 g, diameter - 75.0 mm, thickness - 8. 50 mm. Circulation - 500 pieces, minted on MMD.

Among the 10 ruble anniversary coins there are rare specimens. Let's find out which ten-ruble coins are the most expensive and valuable.

Did you find a 10 ruble commemorative coin in your wallet?! Did you know that some coins of this type are so rare and valuable that they can be sold for tens or hundreds of times their face value. And the most expensive of them are sold at prices up to 10 thousand rubles.

Which of the 10 ruble anniversary coins are the rarest, most expensive and valuable? To understand this issue, let's remember that the cost of a 10-ruble modern coin depends on the circulation, the degree of its preservation and the presence of any features (for example, defects during minting).

The most expensive coins are 10 rubles

So, firstly, the rarest and most expensive coins are those issued in small quantities. Looking at the list of coins, where the mintage is indicated, we can immediately identify three bimetallic coins of 2010:

• Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (circulation - 100 thousand)
• Chechen Republic (circulation - 100 thousand)
• Perm region (circulation - 200 thousand)

Today these are the rarest and most expensive 10 ruble commemorative coins. Dealers made every effort to obtain these dozens in bagged condition. Of course, virtually none of these rare coins made it to stores. Therefore, trying to find these rarities at the box office in your city is at least naive. If you want to purchase these copies for your collection, you will have to pay from 4 to 16 thousand rubles for each of them.

Mint mark and coin value

We know that commemorative ten-ruble coins are minted by two mints: St. Petersburg and Moscow. Depending on this, the coin bears the mark “SPMD” or “MMD”.

The production of some issues of commemorative coins in denominations of 10 rubles was entrusted to both factories at once. This has led to the fact that there are identical coins in circulation, but with different trademarks. However, coins with different mint marks are not equally available, which could not but affect their value.

For example, if we turn to numismatic catalogs, a bimetallic coin of 10 rubles “60 Years of Victory”, issued in 2005, with the MMD mark is valued at 600 rubles, while a similar coin, but with the SPMD mark, costs no more than 250 rubles. The same situation is with the 10 ruble coin “Gagarin” (a copy with the “MMD” mark costs about 600 rubles, which is almost twice as expensive as the same coin with the “SPMD” mark).

Valuable varieties of coins

Rare varieties, i.e. coins that have features may be more valuable. For example, among commemorative bimetallic coins with a face value of 10 rubles, sometimes there are specimens with an unusual edge - there is no inscription “ten rubles” on the side surface of the coin. The price of such coins increases significantly. So, quite recently, at one of the major numismatic forums, a 10 ruble coin “Arkhangelsk Region” from 2007 without an edge inscription was sold for 10 thousand rubles.

In addition to defects during minting, coins can become unique due to the metals that were used to issue them. For example, a valuable variety of the 10 ruble coin “Republic of North Ossetia-Alania” is known, which has pronounced magnetic properties. Such a rare 10-ruble coin can be sold for more than 3 thousand rubles.

Valuable 10 ruble coins and the degree of their preservation

It is worth considering that the above prices are approximate and only apply to coins in AC condition, i.e. “bag” coins that have not been in circulation and therefore do not have significant defects. If you find a rare and valuable 10 ruble coin in your wallet, then in most cases, when selling, the indicated price will have to be reduced by three or even 5 times, otherwise you will not find a buyer. Of course, you may not think about the price of the coin, but leave it in your collection, the value of which will grow every year.

Video about the rarest and most valuable commemorative coins 10 rubles

For 20 years, the Bank of Russia has been putting into circulation regular and commemorative coins made of base metals, among which there are truly rare specimens priced from 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 from 2001 or 2 rubles from 2003 among ordinary change remains even now.

The rarest coins of Russia

5 rubles 1999 SPMD

At first glance, it is an ordinary five-ruble coin, quite modern. But its owner will rarely allow anyone to touch it, unless he shows a photograph to prove it. The original is a special protected value. In 1999, the St. Petersburg Mint minted tens of thousands of its twins, a meager circulation for all of Russia. Only one coin from it fell into the hands of numismatists. Where the others are is a mystery.

5 kopecks 1999 SPMD

50 kopecks 2001 MMD

1 ruble 2001 MMD

It should be noted that these coins are often confused with the two-ruble coin. However, the 2001 commemorative coins are not rare and are not of great value.

2 rubles 2001 MMD

1 ruble 2003 SPMD

2 rubles 2003 SPMD

5 rubles 2003 SPMD

In 2001, the St. Petersburg Mint put into circulation an interesting coin in the denomination of 10 kopecks, on which, instead of the usual vertical folds on the cloak of St. George the Victorious, there are transverse (vertical) versions of them. The approximate value of the coin today is 10,000 rubles. It should not be confused with 10 kopecks MMD, which are worth nothing.

1 ruble 1997 and 1998 MMD (wide edge)

The remaining coins of 1997: 1 kopeck, 5 kopecks, 10 kopecks, 50 kopecks, 1 ruble, 2 and 5 rubles are of no value.

2 rubles 2001 “Gagarin” (without mint mark)

Rare 10 ruble coins

10 rubles Chechen Republic

The Chechen Republic is the most famous of the three private nuclear enterprises, and its value over the past few years has risen 20 times: from 500 to 10,000 rubles.

10 rubles Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug

10 rubles Perm region

Also included are the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the All-Russian Population Census, issued in a circulation of about 2,000,000 pieces.

10 rubles North Ossetia-Alania (magnetic)

More recently, the owners of the coin were able to see an “avalanche” or “snowball” in the background on one of the mountains. Most likely, during minting, the stamp was destroyed and the so-called “crumble” occurred. The cost of this type of coin is 1500-3000 rubles.

10 rubles Bronze medalists of the XXX Olympiad

Despite the small circulation, the coin can be found in numismatic online stores. The cost starts from 45,000 rubles.

Despite the fact that the anniversary 10 rubles are issued in significant editions of 5-20 million pieces, the collection value of most of these tens significantly exceeds their face value. This happens for several reasons. Firstly, the number of collectors increases every year. Secondly, a large number of such mint products end up in the hands of people who are confident that their value will increase over time. The remaining items remaining in circulation quickly fall into a deplorable condition, which does not suit professional collectors. Thus, the demand for anniversary tens is growing, increasing prices.

The most expensive issues

The cost of most chervonets ranges from 30-200 rubles. Moreover, their price depends on the circulation of the issue, the safety of a particular copy, the method of its sale and other reasons.

But there are three editions that differ greatly in price. These are 2010 copies from the “Russian Federation” commemorative series, which for unknown reasons were released in a circulation less than planned:

• "Perm Region" (circulation - 200,000 copies)
• "Chechen Republic" (circulation - 100,000 copies)
• "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" (issued - 100,000 copies)

The demand for these most expensive chervonets, which collectors call for short "CHYAP", significantly exceeds supply, which ensured a rapid rise in prices for them. For example, the "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" is currently valued at ten thousand rubles, and the cost of the "Chechen Republic" is approaching 8 thousand rubles, the "Perm Territory" is slightly cheaper - 3 thousand rubles.

In addition to "CHYAP" there are dozens of others that can be sold very profitably. These are rare varieties, as well as defective specimens.

Rare and valuable varieties

Varieties in numismatics are banknotes of the same year, denomination and type that have any differences. However, these differences can be systematized. For example, dozens within the same issue may differ in the mint mark, the location of this mark, as well as minor changes in the images. There are numismatists who identify and systematize these differences. They believe that the collection is not complete if all varieties are not collected. Such collectors are willing to pay huge sums for rare varieties.

For example, an expensive variety of the dozen “55 Years of Victory”, produced in 2000, is known. Among the dozens with the “SPMD” sign, there are two versions, one of which is much less common. On the valuable variety, the inscriptions and dates are slightly removed from the edge.

In the photo: the common variety is located on the left, the valuable variety is on the right:

If an ordinary coin is valued at about 100 rubles, then the cost of an infrequent variety can exceed a thousand rubles.

Dear Marriages

Various errors occur during minting, and manufacturing defects cannot be ruled out. In theory, defective items should not leave the walls of the mint, however, sometimes unique metal money with defects obtained during their production is found in circulation. It is interesting that among numismatists there are connoisseurs of such defective banknotes who are ready to fork out money for an infrequent marriage.

There are marriages that are not highly valued by numismatists. For example, on metal rubles you can often find scratched stamps, unmarked stamps, and double images. Although even such a defect can add a couple of hundred rubles to the coin’s collectible value, especially if it is pronounced.

In the photo there is a bimetallic chervonets with a split image:

Coins with rotation (displacement of one side relative to the other), split (especially complete) and bite are valued significantly more expensive. Jubilee chervonets with such types of defects can be sold at auctions up to a thousand rubles.

In the photo there is a ten with a split stamp:

There are types of defects that are found only in bimetallic money. For example, such types of defects include insertion displacement. The stronger the displacement, the more expensive the product is valued. For example, in 2016, a chervonets “55 Years of Victory” with a strongly displaced insert was sold for 10 thousand rubles.

The photo shows a copy with the insert offset:

Also highly valued are bimetallic tens with a defect called “double cutting”. The cost of such products at auctions reaches several thousand rubles.

In the photo there is a copy with a defective “double cutting”:

Expensive 10-ruble anniversary notes include specimens with edge errors. For example, dozens are known without edge inscriptions. Thus, the 2016 Rzhev coin was sold at auction for 4,400 rubles.

In the photo there is a chervonets without the edge inscription:

One of the most expensive coin defects also includes a violation of the composition of the metal. For example, among the 10 ruble bimetallic coins “Republic of North Ossetia-Alania” issued in 2013, there are known specimens in the production of which a metal with pronounced magnetic properties was used. Although some numismatists believe that this is not a defect, and the magnetic specimens found are trial items. Nevertheless, such magnetic tens are very valuable. The cost of magnetic products "Republic of North Ossetia - Alania" is estimated at an amount exceeding 3,000 rubles.
