Collectors in Ukraine are ready to pay dearly for 5 kopeck coins of 1992. However, we are not talking about all 5 kopecks this year. Most of them cost nothing, and three varieties are considered valuable, for which you can get up to 6000 UAH.
We are talking about varieties 1.1AAk, 1.1ABm and 2BAm, experts of the specialized portal “Coins-Berries” explain. To distinguish valuable coins, you need to be able to read such varieties, but you can first recognize a valuable specimen simply by its appearance.
- 5 kop. 1992 variety 1.1ААк
Such coins are sold at auctions for 4000–6000 UAH. This is the most valuable variety of five kopecks of the 92nd. Its features are:
- the middle tooth of a trident with a thickening in the upper part;
- unit in the date with a tail;
- a brush of berries No. 2 in the shape of a rectangular triangle;
- group (rib) with a large notch.
A large notch appeared on the coin due to a mistake at the mint. That is why the copy is very rare – only five sales of such coins at auctions have been recorded.
- 5 kop. 1992 variety 2BAM
Collectors are willing to pay up to 3000 UAH for such coins. Features of the 2Bam variety:
- the middle tooth of a trident is sharp and narrow;
- unit at the date without a tail;
- bunch number 2 in the form of an obtuse triangle;
- group (rib) with a small notch.
- 5 kop. 1992 variant 1AVm
The coin is sold much cheaper – at a price of up to 50 UAH. However, that’s still 500 times the face value. The features of the coin are:
- the middle tooth of a trident with a thickening in the upper part;
- unit in the date with a tail;
- elongated berries;
- berries between the wreath and edging in clusters No. 4, 5, 6 are removed from the edging;
- group (rib) with a small notch.
As GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, in 2011, 10 kopecks were issued in Ukraine from non-magnetic steel – not yellow, but white. You can sell a similar coin at auctions at a price of 9 thousand UAH.
