    Picked up this 1779 Copper Catherine the Great 5 Kopecs monster sized coin. Looks in decent condition. I know it is a common mint issue, but a nice addition to my World Crown-sized coins.

    These are great coins to have an example of. With its heft, you know you have quite a coin.

    One of my best covid era pickups for $25/pair, freshly dug from russia. The surfaces are pretty fantastic for being in the ground so long. They look authentic. I need to figure out how to inhibit the small rust spots
