Most of the coins of 2003 are currently a full-fledged payment method within Russia. However, in addition to the payment function, rare Russian coins of 2003 are of particular interest, primarily for numismatists. The cost of such can be measured in several thousand rubles per 1 coin. Which ones are in demand?

First of all, it is worth determining the denomination of coins that are of interest to numismatists. It is necessary to figure out what kind of distinctive signs can indicate the value of coins in 2003.

Penny 2003

First of all, it is worth finding out which pennies are in demand among numismatists and what is the approximate cost of coins of 2003. It should be noted that the reward for the 2003 coin often does not depend on its face value. In addition, rare coins of 2003, the value of which is formed at special auctions, can be valued much more expensive.

1 penny

1 kopeck was produced simultaneously at the mint of Moscow and St. Petersburg. It came into circulation from 1997 until 2009. Such coins were made of steel, and copper-nickel coating was applied to them. Distinctivethe property of the coins was their magnetic property. The 1 kopeck coin has a white coloration. The edge of such a coin is completely smooth. Interestingly, the St. Petersburg Mint issued several types of such coins. The most valuable of them is a coin with a thickened bow of the letter “y”, as well as a barely noticeable cut on a blade of grass and a visible edging on the sheet directed towards one. Such a coin can be valued at a very impressive amount: its value can be equal to 2 thousand rubles.

Another one-kopeck coin features a much more curved bow "th" than in the previous version, and a blade of grass without any cuts. Moreover, on such a coin under the letter “p” there are additional leaves. However, such a coin, unfortunately, cannot boast of the same high value and can cost no more than 2 rubles per 1 copy.

The third variant of the valuable coin has an even more massive arch of the letter “y”, and the sheet, which is directed towards the unit, does not have a clear edging. Also in this coin there is no additional sheet under the letter "p". The cost of such a coin will also be no more than 2 rubles per piece.

But the 1 kopeck coin, which was issued by the Moscow Mint, is distinguished by a curl, which is located next to the edging, as well as a thinner bow of the letter “y”. A blade of grass on such a coin has no cuts. The cost of such a coin can be no more than 5 rubles apiece.

5 kopecks

The monetary unit of this denomination was also issued in Moscow and St. Petersburg. 5 kopecks are now presentin active circulation. Outwardly, such a coin is small in size, light in color, without any magnetic characteristics. The coin has edging on both sides.

Sometimes among these coins there are 5 kopecks, on which the sign of the place of minting was not applied. Such coins are considered rare among numismatists and are in rather high demand. The cost of coins of 2003 in a denomination of 5 kopecks can reach five hundred rubles.

10 kopecks

Coins minted in Moscow are not particularly valuable, so their cost will not exceed 2 rubles. But the coins issued in St. Petersburg can be valued much higher. The rarest coin is considered to have a thick letter “o” in the word “kopecks”, as well as the letters “p” and “e” close to each other, the merging upper outlines of the letters and the thin letters of the mint stamp. In such a coin, the bottom leaf and the number zero are located further from the edge. There is no edging on the bottom leaf.

Such a coin can cost up to 400 rubles. A coin in which the bottom leaf is edged is valued 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” does not differ in thickness from neighboring ones, you can get about 10 rubles. For other variants of the coin, you can get no more than 1 ruble.

1 ruble

As for valuable coins of higher denomination, then tothis includes 1 ruble issued in St. Petersburg. Such a coin has a light color, since it is smelted from nickel. It is not attracted by a magnet, 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 circulation is incredibly difficult.

2 rubles

The 2 ruble coin was issued in small circulation exclusively in St. Petersburg. The price of such a coin can be up to 8,000 rubles.

It is worth considering that a used coin can cost half as much. The coin must not be worn, the face value, the year of minting, the coat of arms, the mint stamp, if any, as well as patterns, edges, etc., must be clearly printed on its front and back sides.

5 rubles

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

First of all, such a high cost of coins produced in 2003 is due to the exceptional rarity of the copy.

Finding valuable coins of 2003 is quite difficult. However, this possibility always exists. In addition, other coins of 2001, 2003 also fall into the category of valuable coins, the value of which depends on their condition. Some of them, according to numismatists, can cost impressive amounts. Sometimes theythe cost can reach several thousand rubles.
