Tane Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 So, we've had some discussion here about Soviet 20 kopecks with obverse of 3 kopeck coins earlier, but what about 3 kopecks struck with 20 kopeck obverses? I've searched a lot of 3 kopeck coins and I think I found one (1982). I might be wrong now, but it looks like such 3 kopecks are rarer than the corresponding variety of 20 kopecks. Are there any other denominations with mixed dies? I could imagine that there are 50 kopecks with 5 kopeck obverses and vice versa, and 10 kopecks with 2 kopeck obverses and vice versa. Do such coins exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khokhloma Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have few for sale if you are interested, all in the sets - 1965, 1979 and 1988. Please check out my Ebay store, 1979 will cost you just $30 (the whole set) as that mule is rather common. 1974 is VERY rare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 How can I tell the mule difference? I can't tell the differences at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnome Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I would also be interested knowing as well, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I would also be interested knowing as well, thanks. The difference is not the same in all cases, I think getting a catalog that points out a difference is a must in this case. From what I noticed often enough the difference is in the shape of the star above the globe, and sometimes the shape of the ribbon around the wheat. But often the difference between the crests is very subtle (at least to me ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
