Yes, a few.
This is one of them:
Not many would bother to care with cleaned coins and even worse, overstruck coins. Fortunately for me, luck was with me and this coin has something very unusual, that is it has three different years on it! 1759 2kopeks over 1755 MMD 1 kopek over 1727 5 kopeks. Such novelity rarely appear - next time do try to find a similar coin to this - it is very difficult.
This is another one:
Holed, damaged etc and you wouldn't care right? Well I didn't really care but it's a difficult coin to find for a type set. Cost? Just around bullion value. (yea right, seems like a joke)
Now this is a more unusual coin that involves three different years! (Makes you wonder why right?)
Firstly, the original year of this commemorative coin is supposed to be in 1985. In 1985, proper coins were struck and later in 1988, restriked coins appeared. For some bizarre reasons, this coin was appearently muled with a 1983 die and with the edge, 1988 N(ovodel). Cost? Just 10USD which what most people would pay for proof Soviet coins these days. This coin was catalogued back in 1993 in a catalogue with at least 200USD. I have never seen this coin anywhere else, so who knows how much this can be worth today.
