The first lot should cost a small fortune ! How much are they asking ?

The grading on coins is massively important and something like the 1896 rouble could vary $80 and more depending on condition
The 1893 looks in good condition and maybe worth about $100-120 on it's own.

I think he meant the first lot....would cost a small fortune...a small fortune in UK term ..is,nt $25/30,.for if you are getting the cents for...that amount...you should be biting the sellers hand off....not dithering...will I ..won,t I....as for the rubles...if he is correct with his valuation for 1 coin..and from his past posts he is rarely wrong....then..you should...be getting your purse out......
my own view is a little less encouraging....i,m always dubious of sellers selling...things for much less than they are worth....but that,s just me....
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Yeah. The roubles are worth several times that estimate.

You see the second picture for the roubles ? Named " 1.jpg " ? There's a small coin on the left. Can you ask them for a better image of that coin ?
Might be a 25 kopek



* edit. I meant " better " image.

Art, is this an auction or retail outlet ? $600 for that lot is a bargain.

The kopeks appear to be mid 19th. Also depends what condition the 18th century rouble is in but at $600 i'd be biting their hand off !!!
