Oh, I went through all of them and snapped the ones I could, I figured, if they fake they need to be broken, if they're real, I just made some years become rarer (even though they're not really rare yet).
Most are like '62 or '82. The thing about the ones I posted, I can keep breaking them if I wanted to, but when I take a knife to the discolored edges, they appear to be copper underneath.
It reminds me that they were in a fountain or something and somehow the inside rotted, but not the outside.
I have one or two solid ones where I can feel it breaking inside, but the outside is still too strong to break them.
I went through all of my USSR, none of them crack that way, or even bend at all for the matter.Even the cracked and chipped ones. I think something is fishy here.
As for the silver coins, I haven't found that same design BUT all of my USSR coins aren't silver. So I cant help in this department.
Hope this helps. best of luck

welcome
livingdead90About the cracking coins - I have a nice collection of USSR coins and never encounter that kind of cracking, even on some pretty dented coins I have, cant break, or bend them for that matter. can you post a photo of a coin with a crack, before breaking it in half or bending it? What years are they?
About the silver coins - I don't have much experience with silver USSR coins, but I will try comparing it to some of my other USSR coins, what year are they?

Hey guys, I found this 18[somthing]2 Russian 2 kopeyek coin, it in pretty rough shape and I was wondering if anyone can tell me it has any signs of bronze disease?
(Sorry about the poor quality, its the best my note 3 can do :/)
