Herp derp

I just bought this coin at the last second thinking it was the silver 1875 Russian 5 Kopeks with a mintage of only 200k. But it appears to have the design of the copper 1875 Russian 5 Kopeks.

How is this coin this color if it's copper? Is it fake or am I missing something?

Thanks

Here's an idea....research the coin before you bid. Also, you spent as much money on that coin as I do in parking. Good luck.

 

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, my parking costs even more than that.

 

Just from the looks of it, I don't care for the pitting or the problem on the rim. It sure doesn't look like it's copper by any means. I would suspect that it could be a fake, but I don't know for sure. This is not my area of expertise by any means.

 

Thank you. I didn't have a Russian coin and it seemed like a good deal for the coin I thought it was (silver)

Doesn't seem like anyone would want to fake this though. But I guess I will be able to find out the details when it gets here (in like a month from now lmao)

 

Nevermind... :foot-mouth:

 

What were you going to say? Lay it on me

 

Gentlemen.
It's a genuine copper Russian coin of Alexander II the Liberator. Please look on mine coin:smile
