<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 923663, member: 4373&quot;]I have finally completed this type set and found this very very tough. The last coin that I needed was the 10 kopek but this was by pure stroke of luck as the 25 kopek and half ruble are tougher to find. I am willing to go as far as low grade coins or damaged coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This has been a difficult series to collect and can get ridiculously expensive even if they are holed or damaged. If you think they are easy to locate, I challenge you to give it a shot and take a look. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the coins: </p><p><br /></p><p>5 kopek</p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/915434.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>10 kopek</p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/982475.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>25 kopek (Polupoltinnik)</p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/917601.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>50 kopek (Poltina)</p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/905446.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1 ruble</p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/901680.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s another variety of the 25 kopek and a heavy ruble called efimok but we&#039;ll leave that to another day. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just to illustrate how expensive these coins can be especially the smaller denomination, here are a couple:</p><p><br /></p><p>Holed 10 kopek:</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=200480153523" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=200480153523" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=200480153523</a></p><p><br /></p><p>5 kopek:</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330435584062" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330435584062" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330435584062</a></p><p><br /></p><p>10 kopek</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/10-Kopeken-1799-Russland-seltener_W0QQitemZ380217190681QQcmdZViewItemQQptZM%C3%BCnzen_Medaillen?hash=item5886b5e919" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.de/10-Kopeken-1799-Russland-seltener_W0QQitemZ380217190681QQcmdZViewItemQQptZM%C3%BCnzen_Medaillen?hash=item5886b5e919" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.de/10-Kopeken-1799-Russland-seltener_W0QQitemZ380217190681QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMünzen_Medaillen?hash=item5886b5e919</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The polupoltinnik and poltina rarely come on the market and if they do, they aren&#039;t cheap! Surprisingly the ruble coins are the easiest to obtain. I&#039;ve yet to complete Paul I copper coinage...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
