    1776 Catherine the Great Russian 5 Kopek,s to start my 1700,s coin collection .

    I already started my 1700,s coin collection i will be doing over the winter months , i purchased this from a good honest coin dealer for a great price it is a 1776 Russian Catherine the Great 5 Kopek,s it has her initials on the obverse , the coin measures 44mm diameter by 4.2mm thick and weighs 56.69 grams ,this coin is huge and in really good shape a lot of good detail on both sides , the first thing i did was take the coin to a expert 30 years under his belt in 5 minutes he said the coin is 100% genuine he would grade it at least AU50 circulated . I included a little history on this very fascinating woman plus a few photo,s . Enjoy Jim

    That is a beautiful coin. I love the patina and the irregular shape.

    Nice coin

    This kind of coin is called as Catherine's cookie. I found one last autumn but it was in really bad shape.

    Very nice, I have one too, a 1766. The size of it is amazing! I think I paid $15 a few years ago for mine, I ave been thinking about getting a few more. Congrats on a nice coin.
