Russia 3 Kopeks 1850 to 1863

These coins from the old Russian Empire were minted between 1850 and 1863, with a slight, almost unnoticable, design change in 1859. Most of the coins carry an EM mint mark, but there are some with BM, and these are somewhat more valuable.

Here are the catalog values for these coins. Use our Important Terminology link to interpret these catalog values.

Mint mark EM:
worn: $4 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $15
well preserved: $50

Mint mark BM:
worn: $10 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $45

The coin in our picture is in worn condition, or maybe a little better than worn.
