Do you have any old pennies left? This can become a way of earning: for 5 kopecks, get up to 10,000 hryvnias

Some ancient Ukrainian coins are today considered real treasures for collectors. Their rarity and minting features can increase the value to tens of thousands of hryvnias.

For example, 5 kopecks of 1992, the rare variety 1.1AAk, are valued at 4,000 to 10,000 hryvnias. This information is provided by the specialized platform “Berry Coins”.

Several features can be used to identify rare coins. First, it is worth paying attention to the thickening in the upper part of the middle tooth of the trident, as well as to the unit in the date with the tail. In addition, bunches #2 have the shape of a right triangle, and the band should have a large notch. Coins that were struck by a mint error have a large notch and are therefore considered the most valuable. If the band has a small notch, this is the 1.1AAm variant, which is much more common and has no collector value.

Another valuable coin is the 5 kopecks of 2003, the 2VAm variety, in which the wreath is placed farther from the edge, distinguishing it from the standard ones. Such rare coins are valued at auctions from 1,300 to 3,000 hryvnias, and sometimes their value rises even to 4,000 hryvnias.

Thus, old pennies that could lie in a piggy bank or wallet for years can become a major discovery for collectors and yield their owners significant profit.
