silver coins of Russian make 5 & 10 Rubles, I have all
documentation papers, there is about 20 ounces of silver

Answer
Hi David, You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
The 5 Rubles coins go for about $10-$12 each while the 10 Rubles go for about $20-$25 each.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
