DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 10/02/2008 9:45 pm Russia 5 Kopek, 1727. I can't make out the mintmark, should be M, H or K under the eagles left leg Report this Post to the Staff

Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 10/03/2008 2:48 pm Were there Russian settlers in SC? I assume British money circulated in SC during that era. I'd strongly guess that Spanish money did too. French money was probably pretty common as well. Since no money was made exclusively for the area, people may have used pretty much anything they could get their hands on. Report this Post to the Staff

Still, pretty interesting.
