Hi Nahabit !!

5 kopecks of Katherina dated 1764 is the best one - CONGRATS !!!! :o
I'm continuously trying to find one like Your's, with no luck.

I think that You should show the size of this coin at the forum.
The coin is really huge and heavy, I'd say - biggest one I've ever seen.
A dime looks like a bean next to it. ;D

Just put it on a box of cigarettes, and then take a pic.
Or simply write the dimensions in Inches.

Pozdrawiam Matejko
CONGRATS again !!!!!!!!!
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Boy, your nahabit, your soil doesn't seem to do much damage to coins at all! Nice detail on all of them!
Congrats!
Our ground is not exposed to influence of chemicals, and besides our coins are made of very qualitative copper and silver. boy//..

Boy was not a negative or what I was calling you, it was Boy=Wow or Boy=Gosh.

The coins in the states used to be made of quality copper and silver also, but the ground here has natural acidic qualities that over the course of 50~200 years causing corrosion in even the most quality of metals.
I would hazard a guess that the temperature of the ground there where you are is also a factor in the coins lasting so long in such good shape.
