2011 M Russia 10 Kopeks

The Russian Olympics are coming soon and maybe that is why I found a Russian coin in my change recently. The travel to and from Russia is increasing so I expect to find more Kopeks in my change.


Under the front hoof is the mint mark М for Moscow, there is also a СП mark for the St. Petersburg mint. Both were made in equal amount, I assume by the low values for each. The mintage has not been made public for years.

Here are that stats...
Type / Country: 10 Kopeks / Russia
Year: 2007-М (Moscow Mint)
Mintage: Unknown (by me at least)
Metal: Brass Plated Steel
Value: $0.15 in Extra-Fine

Do you have a coin from Russia and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

There were, I believe, no 10 kopek coins made at Saint-Petersburg mint in 2011. (On further googling, there were some, but they're very rare.)
Also, I don't know if that's a weak strike or just mint floppiness, but the rider doesn't have any head details. Don't worry, this is normal for Moscow mint steel 10 kopek coins (though examples of 2011 Moscow coins with decent head details are more common than for 2010 or 2009).

--Nice the prices on my books give no clue.
