DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 10/23/2008 4:13 pm This week I went through (almost) all junk bins available here. Including the large ones that took about an hour to search.. These are some of the finds: * Canada quarter - 1964 - $1 bin. Correctly identified as silver by me , not so by the dealer. Almost looks proof-like. * Chile 10 pesos - 1986 (according to the new Krauses, it's the wide date variety) - a theoretically common coin that has an availability of almost zero here. Especially in EF. $0.50. * Soviet Union 10 kopek - 1937 - nice detail, good type. $0.20. Krause: $3 Edited by DL20K 10/23/2008 4:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/23/2008 5:39 pm Agreed with the Canada 25c. The cameo finish of the portrait and the strong square rims suggests it came from a PL set--does anyone know the distinction of "specimen" coins? I don't have any myself. My Krause does not list the mintage of the 10 Kopeck--any ideas? Nice group! Report this Post to the Staff

So are they still classified? . I'd say it'd be 80-115 million based on the earlier mintages and prices. Report this Post to the Staff

Russian coins are fairly popular, but I cannot imagine trying to find those records today. I don't think it's an exaggeration that old Soviet bureaucracy was legendary. Btw, does anyone know any Russian collectors here? They would sure have some interesting and useful insight for other collectors. Edited by KurtS 10/23/2008 6:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
