What is the value of the coins of 2003?

Most of the coins of 2003 at the moment is a full-fledged way of payment within Russia. However, in addition to the payment function, a certain interest, first of all for numismatists, is represented by rare Russian coins of 2003. The cost of these can be measured in several thousand rubles for 1 coin. Which of them are in demand?

First of all, it is necessary to determine the denomination of coins, which are of interest to numismatists. It is necessary to understand which distinctive signs may indicate the value of coins in 2003.

Kopecks of 2003

First and foremost, it is worth finding out what pennies are in demand from numismatists and what is the approximate cost of coins in 2003. It should be noted that the reward for the coin of 2003 is often not dependent on its nominal value. In addition, the rare coins of 2003, whose value is formed at special auctions, can be appreciated much more expensively.

1 kopeck

1 kopeck was produced at the same time at the mint of Moscow and St. Petersburg. It fell into circulation since 1997 until 2009. Such coins were made of steel, and copper-nickel deposition was applied on them. The distinctive property of coins was their magnetic property. A coin of 1 kopeck has a white color. The edge of such a coin is completely smooth. It is interesting that the St. Petersburg Mint issued several types of such coins. The most valuable of them is a coin with a thickened arch of the letter "i", as well as a barely noticeable cut on a blade of grass and viewed by a edging on a sheet directed to the unit. Such a coin can be valued at a very impressive amount: its value can be 2 thousand rubles.

Another one-kopeck coin is distinguished by a much more curved arch "h" than in the previous version, and a blade of grass without any cuts. At the same time on this coin under the letter "n" there are additional leaves. However, such a coin, unfortunately, can not boast of the same high cost and can cost no more than 2 rubles for 1 copy.

The third variant of the valuable coin has an even more massive arc of the letter "d", and the sheet, which is directed to the unit, lacks a clear edging. Also in this coin there is no additional sheet under the letter "n". The cost of such a coin is also not more than 2 rubles for one piece.

But the coin in 1 penny, which was issued by the mint of Moscow, differs by the curl that is next to the edging, as well as the thinner arc of the letter "i". A blade of grass on such a coin has no cuts. The cost of such a coin can not be more than 5 rubles per piece.

5 kopecks

The monetary unit of this denomination was also issued in Moscow and St. Petersburg. 5 kopecks are now in active circulation. Externally, such a coin is small in size, light color, without any magnetic characteristics. On the coin there is a cant from both sides.

Sometimes among these coins there are 5 kopecks, which were not marked with the place of coinage. Such coins are considered rare among numismatists and are in great demand. The value of coins of 2003 in the face value of 5 cents can reach five hundred rubles.

10 kopecks

Coins minted in Moscow are of no special value, so their value will not be more than 2 rubles. But coins issued in St. Petersburg, can be estimated much higher. The most rare is a coin, in which the thick letter "o" stands out in the word "kopecks", and also the letters "n" and "e" are aligned, the upper contours of the letters and the thin letters of the mint stamp match. In such a coin, the bottom sheet and the zero digit are located farther from the edge. On the bottom sheet there is no edging.

Such a coin can cost up to 400 rubles. The coin, in which the lower leaf is edged, is estimated less - up to 200 rubles. Since the value of coins of 2003 also directly depends on their wear and tear, for a coin in very good condition, in which the letter "o" in thickness does not differ from neighboring ones, you can get about 10 rubles. For the other coin variants, you can get no more than 1 ruble.

1 ruble

As for valuable coins of a higher denomination, this includes 1 ruble, issued in St. Petersburg. Such a coin has a light color, since it is melted from nickel. The magnet is not attracted, it has a corrugated edge. This coin was issued in limited quantities, so it can have a price of up to 10,000 rubles. However, finding such a coin in turnover is incredibly more difficult.

2 rubles

The coin of 2 rubles was issued in a small number only in St. Petersburg. The price of such a coin can be up to 8000 rubles.

It is worth considering that a coin in a second-hand state can cost half as much. The coin should not be worn, its face and back should clearly be printed with face value, the year of coinage, the coat of arms, the stamp of the mint, if any, as well as the patterns, the edge, etc.

5 rubles

A coin of 5 rubles is considered one of the rarest specimens. It was issued only in St. Petersburg. Externally, the coin is light, has a fringing. The magnet does not attract. Such a coin in good condition can cost up to 6,000 rubles.

First of all, such a high value of coins of the year 2003 is due to the exceptional rarity of the specimen.

Finding valuable coins in 2003 is quite difficult. However, such a probability always exists. In addition, other coins of 2001, 2003, whose value depends on their condition, also fall into the category of valuable coins . Some of them, according to numismatists, can cost an impressive amount. Sometimes their cost can reach several thousand rubles.
