I am a collector. After visiting the Russian Federation this past summer, I thought this coin would be a wonderful, unique addition to my collection. I love the beautiful double eagle and the finish on the skier. It is an exquisite coin.

My wife is Russian, so I was thrilled to find this coin from the Russian Federation. I am from Colorado and skied hard for many years, thats why I chose the alpine skiing coin. It was a perfect choice for both of us. We will keep this coin as a keepsake, never to resale.

Quite pricey, but it is worth it

Great quality of design and craftsmanship. The face value is only 3 roubles, but it has little to do with intrinsic value. The face value is always lower than the selling (market) price, otherwise there will be an arbitrage condition. Probably there is also room for a possible future denomination, i.e. when extra zeros on legal tenders disappear.

oh please people, get over the 3 ruble

Don't freak out over the 3 ruble value. Would anyone trade in a silver eagle for one dollar, when the weight of the silver is worth much more? I love the coin. Will it raise in value, who knows? I love the coin for what it is. Russian federation coin, nice wooden box, and a beautiful design.

Not that good for the buck

Price shown does not tell you that HST not included. Add another $14 to price. For sterling silver makes it very pricey for a 3 rouble coin or $0.09 Canadain. Would not buy another of this series.

I like the fact it is a Russian Olympic coin. Heads or Tails it is gorgeous. I purchased the Hockey coin several months ago and was very impressed which is why i bought this one.
