<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ugruk, post: 2360236, member: 77526&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I am new to the list and am an archaeologist rather than coin collector.&nbsp; I am working with a metallurgist to study the chemistry of Russian copper from different periods during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.&nbsp; We figure that the best way to do this is through dated copper coins.&nbsp; Thus, I have been purchasing a few low grade but legible coins for this purpose.&nbsp; I am wondering if any of you can enlighten me on the sources of Russian copper?&nbsp; Would the coins minted in Siberia have used a different copper source from those minted in European Russia?&nbsp; Were there multiple sources in each region? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
