How neat! Now, these gentlemen who inherited the coins - were they some type of royalty or something? Sorry if this is off topic, but it is technically concerning the coins . . . I think! :-[

This gentlemen is a very famous russian writer and I can not disclose his name.
You are right, this is his collection and concerns only him.

Hi there. I have this 1839 Russian gold coin. It came from a wealthy lady who passed away
and her family was from Russian here in Virginia.My girlfriend took care of the lady for a year
or so and her family gave the coin to my girlfriend. If you please help me to estimate this coin.
I have a local dealer who wants to buy it., thanks and take care. Robert.



This is a letter I received and now here is the response:

Dear Robert,

1839 Russian Imperal Gold Coin a rare one but it was converted to a jewelry pendant,
and it is worth much less than the original coin. The price of gold is now at $1720 an ounce.
I would say you can sell it to a dealer or on Ebay auction for approximately $ 700 to $1000.

Regards,imperialrussia.

Correction, the price of gold keeps going up. It is now $1749 an ounce. I would hold to it and
not sell it, at this uncertain time. The stocks are very weak and gold will continue to go up.
