Came across this coin that I have been looking for quite some time. This is one of those obscure silver 5 kopek that was struck for only two years (1859 - 1860). Total mintage is a mere 140k ish, making this challenging to complete silver 5 kopek type set.
I don't know why the design is so short lived. It's a nice eagle design.
I've been neglecting this Imperial Russian silver type set (1802 - 1917) for a while. The last time I updated this was perhaps back in 2019!

Many of them were from a time when prices are a lot more reasonable. If I said I bought a silver ruble less than 50-100 dollars, you'd think I'm pulling your leg. Shipping cost were not as obscene as today, let alone absurd taxes on everything. Might attempt to fill one every year. Most are achievable with the exception of the earlier smaller denomination coins...
Please feel free to post silver Russian coins from this era! |

When you mean chop coins, do you mean chopmark Chinese coins?
There are flea markets but it's one of those buyers beware places. Counterfeits are very bad even 20+ years ago. Who knows how bad they are today. |

LOL @ frequent flyer.
Honestly it feels that coin collecting is getting very restrictive. You cannot even mail a single coin in a normal mail to some countries as their metal detector machine is getting a bit too effective.
