Russian Copper help needed.........

longtimecollector

Humbly asking for some darkside help....... I tried looking this up in my "Krause" and I find 2 different listings for an 1858 EM........ How do I differentiate between the "6 coats of arms" variety, and the "8 coats of arms" type ?????????

Look at the crown above the eagle. You won't see a ribbon coming off the crown. This means you have the 6 coats of arms, no ribbon at crown variety. The more common type at $2.00 in Fine.

It's the typical 5 kopek coins. Russian "pattern" coins are exceeding hard to find
