<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 33229, member: 669&quot;]C#6.1, 4g copper, produced at the Ekaterinburg and Moscow mints, without mintmarks or other identification.&nbsp; Krause doesn&#039;t say, but my guess is that it&#039;s hammered.&nbsp; The 1861 pictured in the 18th Century Krause 3rd ed. is also off center, but not as much as this example.&nbsp; Based on Krause&#039;s picture, there is a lot of detail worn off, so I&#039;d call it only VG ~$12.&nbsp; There were 23,848,000 1760s, and only about 15-million total from 1757-59.&nbsp; (No mintage shown for 1761.)</p><p><br /></p><p>OT historical note - my mother was born in a city named for Empress Elizabeth. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: royalblue">Edited due to careless lookup. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </span> I took another look at the Q&amp;A and the seller gives the size as 13/16&quot;.&nbsp; The kopek is ~27.5mm, but the 1 denga (= 1/2 kopek) is ~21.5mm, so the coin in question is C#5, 6.4g, and with much, much smaller mintage numbers.&nbsp; 1759-60 were a combined 1,574,000, and another 3.75-million were turned out in 1757-1758.&nbsp; The catalog value is somewhat higher than for the kopek.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same design was also used for the 2 kopek (~32.5mm).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
