Russia Denga (1/2 Kopek) 1700 to 1754

It sounds like you have an old denga, one-half kopek coin from Imperial Russia. Most of these that you see are like your specimen -- worn, corroded, and generally illegible. Only when they become readable do they start to pick up value.

There are many varieties, but the 1700 to 1754 coins all have the double headed eagle and 'AE' 'HrA' lettering which, of course, are in the Russian language.

Catalog values hover around the $5 to $20 US dollar mark for worn coins. When the condition improves to that of our picture, the catalog values go up as follows:

1700 to 1704: $80
1705 to 1717: $60
1730 to 1741: $25
1743 to 1754: $40

These values double when the condition gets better than our picture.

Remember these are catalog values and must be interpreted as such. See our Important Terminology page for an explanation.
