Thanks,David!

but i know that the same coin (better condition) was bought for 800 £ not so long ago.

That kind of begs the question, why are you asking if you think you already know the answer?

The same coin in better condition might have made that money, but yours is not in that better condition, hence you won't see that price for yours.

also depends on the mint etc.

russian market is boyant

Looks like an F to me.

Certainly not an £800 coin.

Was the £800 coin in an outstanding grade? Was it a rare variety or mintmark?

Grade and Rarity are the things that usually affect the price you can sell a coin for.

My Krause had $200 for UNC, possibly low for this mintage

Given the buouyency of the Russian antiquities market, $800 might be possible for one in TOP grade, but even allowing for US grading I wouldn't rate his coin as better than VF

How much the buyer wants the coin can also be a factor.

If it doesn't spring up in auctions much and they need it to complete a collection or some similar scenario they would be prepared to pay top dollar for it... but $800 seems a bit much.
