Dear collectors, I am a new coin collector who has....nothing to do with ancient coins. I collect modern coins and more particularly pennies. Meanwhile I came across those tiny little things ( which btw I accidentally throw away..) and I have absolutely NO CLUE what they are. I have no idea where to start or what to ask. I would appreciate your help to find out what I'm dealing with. It is not just one coin. it's a couple of them. But I will be posting one at a time. Please help me out here. I've been told that there are pretty knowledgeable people around here. Thank you in advance for your patience!
Looks a bit like Russian wire money. If you like pennies, you should try the American cent coins... (just funnin' you)
What would give you that idea...like your hair Actually I got one piece of the wire money just to have it, kind of cool.
That's what I was thinking of, but those don't look like Russian characters...maybe @Siberian Man can shed some light.
well I didn't want to hurt your feelings but they are definitely not Russian, at least not modern Russian. But thank you for making my mood!!! Stay tuned please!
Reminds me of Russian Wire Money... RUSSIA Ivan IV The Terrible 1533-1584 AR Denga Moscow mint Horseman riding right brandishing sword - Inscription in lines G&K 59 Rare type RUSSIA Ivan IV The Terrible 1533-1584 AR Kopek Wire money Novogorod mint 1535-1538 Horseman riding right brandishing sword - Inscription G&K 75 Russia Peter the Great AR Kopek 1682-1725 Wire Money Horse Rider - Great Tsar Peter 11.1mm 0.27g
I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about the letters used on the coin. What language is that script used in.
I have no idea..and the fact on my previous post answering you that it is not Russian was a mistake and I apologize. I shouldn't be guessing. And I have at least 3 or 4 of those coins coming up. let's see!
I didn't get them or purchase them from somewhere. Someone gave them to me when heard that i like coins to see if they were of any value etc.it's a long story that would sound like a movie. But I have no idea where they were found or purchased. I wasn't given any more info.
