<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 3139591, member: 4373"]I do remember the time when I was on a buying and selling spree. When I was on a hunt a while back, Soviet cash coins weren't that rare. I found the smaller denomination coins over priced and ended up getting the restruck version at around 10 dollars or so. Still find it weird that its plated steel. Why not just plain copper?</p><p><br /></p><p>I ended up having 2 of the Soviet 200 and 500 cash each. Only problem that I have is that they are of distinct varieties and somewhat similar grade, hence I ended up keeping them both. Hate to think if I sold the scarcer variety. Would still be helpful to offload some 'duplicates'.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the silver crown mentioned are just very high and demand. My personal favorite would be the early silver Fengtien coinage. Denomination surrounded by Manchu script - that looks quite neat. Chinese copper coins somehow doesn't quite inspire me - I find the brass / bronze alloy coins to have more interesting history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
