EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 2:38 pm I think at one point in time this year of issue was tough. I don't really collect Soviet era coins, but I have these two put aside. I really like the 5 Kopek. Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 3:51 pm Well, all I can say about these are that the types are VERY common in Europe, and although nice-looking, they are saldy not much of value as far as I'm concerned. 1970 I think is a better year for these.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 5:06 pm I disagree - 1969 is a semi key date for these two coins. In particular, many coins dated from 1965 to 1974 are not too common for 5 kopek, and 15 kopek onwards. In fact if you look at recent ebay sales, both of these coins were sold for 60 dollars EACH. These are most likely broken off from mint set.

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 5:20 pm Well, just like anyone I can always be wrong I haven't researched the later coins of the Soviet Union, mostly because a lack of interest. These pieces seem to surround me, guess I've become home-blind. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 05:58 am I think gxseries is correct on this. I have 1, 2 and 3 kopeks in the 1962-75 range but not a single 5, 10, 15 or 20. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 07:52 am I'm certain 10 kopek coin is relative easy for coins dated 1970 - 1975. 10 kopek is still difficult from 1966 to 1969. In fact I think I may have some duplicates of those years floating around or sold them previously. Some other key dates for 10 kopek is 1990 with mintmark "M" and 1991 10 kopek with no mintmark. Some years for 50 kopek is also a bit easier in between 1965 to 1975 but in general more difficult. 1 ruble coin actually seems to be rather underrated. I've actually managed to complete a 5 kopek date run in between 1924 to 1991. This also includes the 1990 with mintmark M. I have also completed the 1 ruble and 50 kopek set from 1921 to 1991. 15 and 20 kopek do pose very difficult challenges and cannot be underestimated. I've been lucky enough to obtain a 1970 5 and 20 kopek before the prices went berserk but missed out on the 1970 15 kopek.

EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 08:55 am I acquired 4 1969 USSR coins in a lot, of which the two above were included. I sold a 1969 1 Rouble for $55 (PCGS MS65). I sold a 1969 15 Kopek for $120 (PCGS MS66). I kept these two, as I now have no money in them at all. I doubt I'll get rid of the 5 Kopek as it is the most desirable and I really like its size and color. I am not as partial to the 20 Kopek. These coins from my research seem to always get splotchy. They look better in hand. I too believe these came out of a mint set. Thanks for all the posts and comments! Report this Post to the Staff
