Hi,
I'm looking for some dolar size (1.5" diameter) copper coins. I need four matching coins. A local coin dealer recommended Russian 3 Kopecks. Of course he didn't have any. Does anyone have a suggestion on a specific coin and where I can buy them? Thanks very much. Bob

I guess you want them to match a Morgan Silver Dollar. Todd showed me copper coins in that size from Vietnam, Laos, and Saudi Arabia when I ordered the Hopping Half using the Morgan dollar. Contact him for resources or try online coin shops.

Thanks George. You guessed it. The only coins Todd has are some middle eastern coins that are not very attractive, they have wrestlers on their face. Also not my first choice due to current events. Also, I'd like the date range to be close to the Morgans. I located some 1915 3 Kopecks coins, I'm waiting on price and pictures. How do you like yours?
Bob I just bought four 1915 3 Kopeks Russian coins to make my hopping half set. I think they will look nice. I attached a picture, what do you think? With the Morgans, I think these will make a nice hopping half set. I'll send them to Todd this week. Bob Click here to view attached image.

Hi Bob
I settled on a LAOS copper coin for my Morgan Hopping Half from Todd. The nice thing about the 1915 Kopeks is that it puts the coins in the same era as the Morgans. I have attached a picture of my set for your view. George Click here to view attached image. |
