Soviet coins type set (1921 - 1957)

Early Soviet coins from 1921 to 1957 can be quite difficult to find in good condition. To make it more difficult, any Soviet coins older than 1957 are not allowed to be exported out of the country, leaving a less supply of them around. High quality coins are starting to head back towards Russia due strong demand and therefore, making this type set more challenging than ever before.

A good site to check out the rarity of Soviet coins of this era is here: http://www.arcamax.ru/price_reg21-58.htm (no longer works - check with archive)
