Hello all. Just started going through my first case of the night and on the 7th roll I found a coin dated 1964 in what looks Russian. I have also found so far a 1972s proof Kennedy, 1968d and a 2006d. Below is a pic from my microscope and could use some help in identifying it. Thanks in advance and will return with my total results soon.

Looks Greek to me. Perhaps Ag? Nice looking coin.
 
It's Greek. The lettering along the edge is Greek, not russian. It is 30 Drachmai and is 83.5% silver. There was a mintage of 1,000,000 of those coins.

Thank you for the reply and you are right. Also thanks to San Fran as I went looking after you mentioned it looked Greek. I found it on http://www.coinsworld.eu/info/king-constantine/1964_1973.asp. It is silver and I find it funny that I would find it in a roll of halves. Oh well...IT'S SILVER..:) Also I have since found another 1967, 2003p, and a 2006d. Still have over a half a box to go through. Thank you all for the help with this and what a great bunch of folks to work with :hello2:
