☭ USSR Soviet Union Gold 1 Chervonetz 10 Roubles 1975-ЛМД
In the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Lenin touted the boyish belief that gold’s only use would be in the manufacture of bathroom fixtures such as taps. It wouldn’t be long, however, before the Soviet Union minted its first Chervonetz gold trade coin in 1923. These first Chervonetz gold coins were minted at the Petrograd mint and are estimated to have been minted to a quantity of a little over 2.7 million. These early, original strikes, however, are scarce and fetch far higher premiums than their later 70s and 80s counterparts.
Although there were around 6.6 million Chervonetz gold coins struck consecutively through 1975 to 1982, these pieces remained largely elusive and unseen in the global coin and collectibles markets until recently, with only around 730 of these issues being graded between both NGC and PCGS.
A small hoard of these previously elusive pieces was uncovered, with many of the coins later being slabbed and graded by NGC and given the special label to emphasise the historical significance of this Chervonetz Gold Hoard!
The example on display here was minted at the Leningrad Mint in 1975 while Leonid Brezhnev was President of the Soviet Union.
The obverse features the national coat of arms of the Soviet Union with hammer and sickle before the rising sun on a document sheet flanked by barley ears.
The reverse boasts a peasant farmer sowing seeds in a field before a plough. An industrial skyline and rising sun fill the background.
An exceptional coin with the history to match.
☭ Замечательно! ☭
Coin is comprised of 8.6026 grams of .900 gold with an actual gold weight (AGW) of 7.7423 grams.
Price is £590 including fully-insured delivery to anywhere in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
Payment via bank transfer to UK business bank account.
Thank you! 🌟

I really appreciate the straight answers. I'll pass on the information. Thank you.

It looks to be just a fun collection. I'm not saying there isn't a rare stamp hidden somewhere, but based on these pictures it does not look to be anything special. Whilst thematic collecting is popular, it would have to have a lot more depth to be worth anything significant. Collections like this are often given to children to develop their interests, or given to charity shops. I don't think a dealer at a stamp fair would be too excited Sorry!

ram64 got a reaction from Zhorro in Stamps collection
Thank you, that's quite a bit of information. I don't think he collected them for investment specifically, more as a passion at the time. I'm aware these might just be duds so I told him to manage his expectations.
I attached some photos of these.
They are from around the world. A lot are sports themed (Olympics, Football etc). A lot are from Eastern Europe/Russia. A few are from UK and Commonwealth. Some from Asia (Mongolia & Japan I believe). And a few from South America. They are all sorted by dates & geographical location.
Thanks again for the tips. I'll have to do a bit more reading and research on specific countries/dates I guess.

If we are talking about GB material, it is unlikely the mint stamps will be worth more than face value (apart from the Machin definitives which have recently been demonitized!). In fact, you may have seen on this Forum that people have sold mint commemorative stamps at below face value, to others wanting to use them for postage.
First Day Covers are plentiful on eBay and unless they have really special cancellations, and are in perfect condition, they are probably only worth pence - if you can find a buyer.
For a stamp collection to be worth serious money, the original owner needs to have spent serious money on it - but even then they could have been buying rubbish! (Yes, there are Binlords in the philatelic world!) They really need to have specialised and become experts in a particular area. If however, they were just collecting for fun, then this is how they got their pleasure from it, rather than thinking about it as a serious investment.
So, does it look as if they have spent serious money on it? Bear in mind that in the 1970s a new set of stamps might have cost 40p every three months, so, you can't really expect these sets to have gone up much in value.
Is the collection well set out? Are the stamps in chronological order or are they just set out as they were acquired? All this gives an impression as to how serious the collector was.
These days there are not many stamp shops around, though there are a few stamp fairs, but these dealers are probably not very keen to buy the material I have described above.
If you have any specific questions, I will try and answer them.
