gxseries Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am hunting down the rest of the Soviet coins for my Soviet coin collection and they are becoming quite expensive. The 1970 5 kopek is a key date for the 5 kopek series. 1970 and 1976 20 kopek are semi keys - still not easy to find in any condition. They are most likely taken from broken down mint sets.

bobh Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am hunting down the rest of the Soviet coins for my Soviet coin collection and they are becoming quite expensive. [...images snipped...] The 1970 5 kopek is a key date for the 5 kopek series. 1970 and 1976 20 kopek are semi keys - still not easy to find in any condition. They are most likely taken from broken down mint sets. Those are very nice coins, gxseries. I like the toning on the 5 kopecks coin. My Rylov/Sobolin catalog doesn't list any mintage figures for lots of coins such as these ... they stop at the year 1936 for 2, 3 and 5 kopecks. Is there a known reason for this? He does list relative rarity figures, and the prices in roubles given seem to correspond to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Very Nice 5 Kopeks. Congrats. It is a key date for 5k coins after 1961. Before 1961, I believe that there are a few that are a bit more rare. Did you complete the 1930's 5k set already? I am not asking about 1947...

Saor Alba Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 The top two coins look like they came out of those PL sets. Sometime I will dig out my hoard of USSR change and see what dates I have, but I remember that by then 1960's era coins were difficult to find in circulation.
