The coin of 10 kopecks of 1984 is often called ordinary and average by numismatists. Monetary units with this denomination were issued in large quantities that year, therefore they are not of particular value. The only rare specimen is a coin with ledges on the obverse. Today we will understand the varieties, characteristics, detailed description and cost of various copies.
Description
The 10 kopeck coin was produced in 1984 by the Leningrad Mint. There is no exact data on the number of units produced. It is only known that it was a mass circulation. There is also evidence that monetary units were not only in circulation and were present in large quantities in the wallets of citizens, but also met in special annual sets made for the state bank.
Coins were produced from nickel silver, a popular alloy at that time. It is a combination of nickel, copper and zinc. Weighed just over 1.6 grams. No magnetic characteristics anddo not have properties. There is a protruding piping on both sides.
Overse
The central part of 10 kopecks 1984 is the coat of arms of the Soviet Union. In the middle is the image of the planet Earth. Against its background, a sickle and a hammer cross. A little lower is the sun, from which long rays emanate towards the planet. From the side of the North Pole, where the ears of wheat converge, there is a star. Sheaves of wheat are the frame of the central image. They are tied together with a ribbon. There are fifteen tape bindings in all. Each turn of the ribbon symbolizes the Union Republic.
On the left and right sides of the star are the axes of the ears. There is no concession. If you look closely at the top of the central spike, which is on the left side, you can see that there is a small awn there. She comes right up to one of the rays of the star. At the bottom of the coin disc is the abbreviation USSR. The letters are minted strictly horizontally in block type.
Reverse
Almost the entire upper part of the 10 kopecks of 1984 is occupied by a number indicating the face value of the coin. The ten is printed from the very top edge to the center of the coin disc. Under the numbers is the inscription "kopecks", showing the letter designation of the denomination.
At the very bottom is the year of minting of monetary units. The letters are large and occupy most of the lower part. Turning corners are smoothed. The composition is framed (on the left and on the right) by ears of wheat directed upwards. Each ear originates from oaksheets. There are two in total. On the right in the upper part, the ears end in the middle of the number "0", and on the left - at the beginning of the number "1".
Improved coinage
As we said, the 1984 10 kopeck coin is of little value to collectors. However, there is a variety called improved coinage, which is much more expensive than standard coins. Very rarely, monetary units come across in ordinary circulation. Basically, they are found in special sets made for the State Bank of the USSR. An old stamp was used for production.
If you look closely at the obverse of the 10 kopeck coin 1984, you will notice that the longest ear on the left side does not have an awn. The right side of the image also has differences. Here there is a ledge formed by the tips of the ears. The reverse on such a coin corresponds to the standard coinage.
Marriages
There are several variants of defective coins that have been on sale in recent years:
- Split stamp.
- obverse shift.
- Incomplete printing of the image near "0".
- Turns in different directions.
- Crack in blanks.
Cost
Coins of standard minting will cost from 3 to 25 rubles. The price of coins of improved minting is slightly more expensive - from 540 to 1400 rubles. Defective ones are the most expensive. Their price varies from 1000 to 2600 rubles.
