Russian 5 kopeks is it a reproduction

9 сообщений • просмотрено 205 раз
I recently bought this Russian 5 Kopeks 1782 coin . I am not sure if it is a original or reproduction. The weight is 44.72 gr which is a little on the light side as the weight given is 51gr . But I have read that these coins were weighed in batches of a 1000 when made. So the weight can vary between 30 to 80 gr. Has anybody any thoughts as to whether it is original or not.
This is original. Do not worry.

That is a Beauty , thank you for sharing!
I also have one of these, had it a few years and wondered as to its validity due to its condition for its age.

Its weight is 55.4 grams.Are they a coin that is copied extensively ?
Thanks for all your comments, its great to handle such a coin when you think of its history.
Cheers Peter
