Each person has a lot of little things in his wallet that he tries to get rid of. But don't rush. If you look closely, the cost of some coins can be several thousand rubles.
Valuable coins have always been collectible. Many of their owners are not even aware of their real value. Expensive copies can simply be in your wallet or be in circulation. If it seemed to you that you have one of the valuable coins in your hands, go to the numismatist and determine its real value. It is not worth using the services of the "black market" for these purposes, since if the coin is really valuable, the likelihood of fraud will be very high. You will either be convinced that this is a fake, or they will purchase it for a lower cost than it really is.
What can the value of a coin depend on?
The value of a coin is primarily determined by the mint where it was struck. Of course, most of the coins that are now in circulation are of no value. However, even 30 years ago there were much more mints and the decals that they applied, at the moment, are unique.
In addition, the value of a coin depends on the metal from which it is made. So, gold and silver coins will cost much more than bronze, or copper. There are exceptions to every rule, though. This includes 1 kopeck produced in 1704. At the moment, the value of the coin is 5 million rubles.

What to do with a valuable coin?
