bekiz, I wouldn't call 1981 as a key date. All coins are still easy to find in loose although a bit tougher when it comes to mint set. The key...
Here's another example for 50 kopek coins that I've done up - http://gxseries.com/dump/russia_50k_61_pg1_small.jpg While I have been hunting the...
I find some denominations struck from 1965 to 1975 to be very difficult. In particular from 5 kopek onwards. Some key dates: [img] [img] [img]...
Spoiler on what I am working on: http://gxseries.com/dump/soviet_comm_pg01_small.jpg
Please post photos of overstruck coins. Thanks.
cladking - I am certain I can think of at least 4 different mintset packaging, two from Moscow and another two from Leningrad Mint. While Krause...
Looks like I didn't make myself clear in the first place. The showcase of my Russian overstruck coins can be seen here:...

I've been hunting for this Korean 1898 1 yang variety coin for years. In most catalog, they would describe it as narrow and wide variety in the...
Since when does the Bureau of Engraving and Printing subsidize the cost of US mint operation???
Wow welcome to 2012 where people are still crying over pennies. There are countries who have got rid of their cent and are still doing well in...
cladking - I'm not sure what reference you are using but some prices are over-exaggerated. 1991 mintsets are really cheap unless they have error...
Nice one. I don't collect this type but able to get hold of a key date is always an accomplishment. Congradulations!
Found this one as an upgrade as my other coin was in a poor condition. This one is harder to find in a nice one like this: [img] Good...
It's definitely extra virgin olive oil if you are wondering. I don't have the brand handy but it's definitely the case as I only buy extra virgin....
