I found this in the reject tube while dumping. It also sounds like silver. Does anyone know what it is? Is it silver?

I like some of the older ones and many of the commemoratives are great examples of Soviet style art.





Its a shame that there isn't really a good English reference to Russian/Soviet coins, I'd imagine there would be lots to collect and a lot of interesting information on them, undoubtedly including ultra-rarities struck for those "in the know"

I've found a few Russian coins before, especially when dime hunting.
