ScottO Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 looking though ebay auctions and found this picture i have a 1990 1 kopeck already, however this one seems to have a pi symbol on the CCCP side, is this a mintmark? is it rare?

ScottO Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 never seen the mark on any soviet coin though, looking at pictures of the sets from the mint... no mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don’t collect these, but I have seen the L and M mintmarks on 1991 coins. Not sure about 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 never seen the mark on any soviet coin though, looking at pictures of the sets from the mint... no mark Fedorin does not list this one with letter L of 1990 - so most likely it is listed in error - image taken from 1991 coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Most probably a mistake on the seller's part - you might want to confirm with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
