I just couldnt imagine walking around with a couple of those in your pocket... Thanks for sharing. BTW I think I agree with your assessment of the 1771 being overstruck. Report this Post to the Staff
hammerrob Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/21/2012 9:46 pm I have one like the 1771 variety of yours. Coins like these are fun to share with someone who has no interest in coin collecting. They can't help but be amazed by the size alone! Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3832 Posts	Posted 10/22/2012 05:46 am The 1771 5 kopek can't be an overstrike. If you said double struck, yes, but overstruck, no.
