<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 3642079, member: 96898&quot;][USER=84179]@Oldhoopster[/USER] is spot on about the third coin: an early modern Russian &quot;wire money&quot; kopek. There are countless types of these, but I read &quot;MOC&quot; for the Moscow mint on the obverse, and Mikhail Fedorovich (&quot;... МIХAIЛ[Ъ] / ФЕДОРОВI[Ч]&quot;) in the second and third line of the reverse. This makes your coin a kopek of Tsar Michael I (r. 1613–1645), the first Romanov ruler. The full ID for your coin will be something along <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces111838.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces111838.html" rel="nofollow">these</a> lines.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your second coin appears to be from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panticapaeum" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panticapaeum" rel="nofollow">Pantikapeion</a>, Thrace, 3rd–4rth century BC. If you compare it to the coins listed <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/thrace/pantikapaion/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/thrace/pantikapaion/t.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, you should be able to find a match. Concerning your question about these being Russian coins: Pantikapaion was located on the Crimean Peninsula. Giving an opinion on whether this area is part of Russia would violate the forum rule against political debates.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea about your first coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
