I have managed to hang on to my wonderful Silver Odyssey II built by Nick Rugerio while he was still in an ownership position at Collector's Workshop. It is set for and works great with US Half Dollars -- but I want to change my routine in seance work to a Russian theme with Rasputin as part of the plot.
Does anyone know of a Czarist Russian Coin that is about the size of the US Half Dollar or old English Penny where I can get six or seven dated in the pre-1917 era. Checking the price on the gold ruble coins from coin collectors ($80 each and up) I cannot afford to put such into the act and am looking for coins that may be marred or circulated during the 1880-1917 period that will work with the mechanism. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Yep, mostly kopeks and roubles. You'll easily find those at any coin shop.
