RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 04/25/2012 8:53 pm These coins I've had in my family for a long time, the condition is unbelievable for how old they are! This is the same denomination of the coin (5 kopeks) but one is from 1793 and the other 1870 ! the 1793 is 50 grams of pure copper!! imagine people carrying 10 of these in their pockets :O enjoy the pics !

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/25/2012 11:14 pm World collectors that have coins of the 1700's well represented in their collection usually have at least one 5 kopek coin of Catherine The Great. They are substantial and handsome coins, and that is what attracts collectors to them. They usually have a substantial, even, rich and attractive patina. Condition wise, this one is typical for the genre. I have seen them for sale in VF at around the $30 mark. Report this Post to the Staff
