I was on vacation last week with the family and couldn't resist the call of a coin. I picked up a good solid VF 1894 Russian 3 Kopek coin. It was only 99 cents and figured how could I go wrong and I needed it for my Family History set. The fact I only spent a dollar went over a little better with the Mrs. so it wasn't entirely bad.
The only problem is I know little of 19th century Russian coinage but again for a dollar how could I go wrong?
Update
Here's a little info I just received. The catalog number for the coin is Y#11.2 and had a mintage of 4.8 million. The value in a condition of VF ranges from $1.50 to $2.00 for choice VF. So it looks like a decent pick up.
That's the fourth Russian coin for my Family History type set so now I'm down to searching for 1/4, 1/2, 2, 15, 20, 25, & 50 kopek coins, and a 1/2 & 1 rouble coins.
