Then, Who will buy Russian coins and how it may be possible that the price of the parts to grow 100% in just 1 year?
We believe that to understand what did have to go back in history. Russia has gone through very hard times in the 20th century, poor people to feed their families and had little interest in the expensive entertainment, such as collecting coins. Many pieces of silver and gold have been merged or turned into jewelry. We know how many coins of Russian, but nobody knows how many pieces have survived through all these years of economic stagnation. Even now, all Russia's imperial coins can not be exported to Russia, so that the circulation of these coins outside of Russia is limited to parts smuggled from Russia or Russian coins held by generations of Russian immigrants.
You could see that the demand for coins in Russia began to develop 5 years ago, when the Russian economy is beginning to recover. It is easy to conclude that the recent growth prices of currencies of Russia is tied to the booming Russian economy. In fact, if we compare the results of auctions of Russian coins coin auction Russian outside Russia, the prices of the same parts in Russian outside Russia are 10-30% lower than in Russia at home!

Russian coins on auctions in Europe and North America are bought by proxy and return to Russia and western Russia parts inventories, which were not very good from the start diminishing. Hence is in high demand, pushing prices and quality parts with Russia goes to private collectors and investors, it is possible that some rare pieces auctioned in January sold twice in June, this is incredible 100% ROI in 5 months! And people said bag provides better performance. The only question is to see how long the price of the currencies of Russia and the growth may be overheating and fall market day.
We know that each market has its ups and downs and 100% growth is not sustainable in the long run. On the other hand, if we compare the prices spare parts for British and American parties in Russia, one can still see the few parts of Russia continued to sell for much less than the British - Or American coins of this rarity. For the largest country in the world with an interesting history of the Russian currency market is still in development and we believe The Russian economy is booming and very many experts suggest that Russia could eventually have a bright future.
