<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 114493, member: 669&quot;]Hi dubdy96, and&nbsp; <img src="http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> to CoinTalk. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 2006 Standard Catalog of World Coins lists a Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic 50 kopeks (p.1778) with an 8,224,000 mintage in 1922.&nbsp; It was produced by the Leningrad Mint for the very short-lived RSFSR, created in the interregnum between Czar Nicholas and the USSR.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that&#039;s what you have, it should be 9.980 grams of coin silver (.900 fine), with a diameter of ~27mm.&nbsp; The obverse has the country name in cyrillic characters, surrounding a sickle and hammer emblem; and the reverse has &quot;50&quot; and the date in a five-pointed star, surrounded by a wreath and the denomination in cyrillic characters.&nbsp; The initials of A.F. Hartman or P.V. Latishev, who each served as Mintmaster for part of 1922, are on the edge in cyrillic characters either resmbling an inverted &quot;V&quot; followed by an inverted &quot;L&quot;, or a Pi symbol with straight legs followed by a Pi symbol with a curved left leg.</p><p><br /></p><p>Combined minage was 8,224,000, plus an unspecified number of proofs.&nbsp; Krause values them at $5 F, $7 VF, $10 XF and $25 Unc., in both variations.&nbsp; The proofs are cataloged at $350 (Hartman) or $250 (Latishev).</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post pictures of all three sides if you can. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
