...So, digging through a "junk box" & spending $3 for a dozen coins, I got this nice coin from Monaco, & turns out, these sell for around 10 bucks shipped on ebay ... not bad for 25 cents ... I'll include it in a batch I'm putting together for a young (new) collector ...

I bought this coin off of ebay - seller had it listed as a 1700 Russian coin. Which is what I wanted to be dated at exactly 1700. The images were not the best, so I took a chance. But now that I have it in hand I think I got lucky (in one way) that the con I got has the full date on it, but unfortunately, I think it is a 1702 Kopeck coin. This is what I hoped it would be: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces160762.htmlBut I think it is this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces164791.html1700 or 1702 Russian Empire 1 Kopeck a hammered wire coin
