<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2165947, member: 4373&quot;]1979 20 kopek unfortunately is a common date. I suspect your 15 kopek is also dated 1978 or 1979. In general, a lot of the higher denomination Soviet coins, 15 kopek onwards dated 1965 - 1976 are getting harder to find. Again, this is just a generalization but nevertheless if you do have such coins struck in between those years - you might have something! </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the manufacturing method, I had a debate with Soviet coin collectors on whether such coins in mint sets were struck in proof standard or not. To my understanding, there was never such intention to strike such coins in proof. Condition wise, they are definitely proof-like. I do have some coins that do reflect strongly like what a proof coin would do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
