Anniversary rubles appeared in the Soviet Union back in the 60s of the twentieth century and since then have been minted annually in honor of important historical dates, such as the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight into space or the anniversary of the Great Victory. It is believed that the comparative rarity and unusual appearance of such coins attract numismatists. Therefore, many who get hold of the anniversary ruble hope to sell it profitably.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the market value of your anniversary rubles. To do this, contact the appraisers or find on the Internet specialized sites for numismatists (collectors of old coins). Ask a question on the forum with a photo of your coins. To be sure, ask about the price of anniversary rubles on several sites and compare the results.
Step 2
Place an advertisement for the sale of commemorative coins on several Internet resources. Give preference to those where collectors go: these are sites about old coins, jewelry, and so on. In the ad, indicate the desired price for your product, attach photos.
Step 3
To increase your chances of selling coins, use as many online resources as possible. Publish information on all kinds of auctions, flea markets, fairs. In the announcement, immediately stipulate whether you are ready to send coins to another city or even a country if someone who lives far from you is interested in them. Do not forget to indicate your contacts: phone number, email address, city of residence.
Step 4
Place ads in print media: newspapers and free classifieds magazines in your city or regional center, if you live in a small town where there is little chance of meeting collectors. Also let all your friends from social networks, forums and chats where you communicate to know that you are selling anniversary rubles.
Step 5
Contact people who constantly work with money and can either turn out to be collectors themselves, or tell the phone numbers of numismatists. As a rule, these are employees of bank tellers, where some collectors turn to in order to exchange new ones or, conversely, old rare anniversary rubles.
Step 6
Follow the Internet for promotions that are periodically held by various banks in the country. Rarely, but still there is a chance to sell coins to banks at an inflated value. The latest precedent was at the beginning of 2011, when one of the banks bought two-ruble coins of a certain year of issue for an amount that was a thousand times higher than their actual value.
