You also constantly dig up Dengu, in any field, in any place? Probably this is one of the most common coins that comes across in the mine, even «Polushka» (and this is an even lower denomination than Denga) comes across much less often. Most often, Denga is found in any condition, as with any coins, depending on the field and soil, but a beautiful and well-preserved Denga simply should be in the collection of every self-respecting fellow digger!
For such comrades, I have collected material on how to determine what type of denga you have recently found.

Eight Dengi patterns.
Indeed, a huge number of these coins were produced, but there are several variants where the mintage was smaller and the coins of this type found are worth a little more to collectors than usual. Rare years include 1739 (but the rosette above the face value must have 5 petals) and 1743 (but the eagle must be like 1730 or 1744). According to the standard, the coin should weigh 8.1 grams, but most often the weight is very different and you can find a «standard» the coin turns out to be more difficult.
Everyone checked their money?
And now to the cops! Good luck and good signals to the reel! I collect more finds by definition here.
