One of my recent buys included 2 1961 CCCP coins. Numista says they are aluminum. But I swear they sound, look, and feel like silver.

Soviet Union.....CCCP!

There are either a "15" and "20" or some other small amount.

Any help from the pros?

15 Kopeks; 2.5g, copper-nickel-zinc, 19.5mm
20 Kopeks; 3.3g, copper-nickel-zinc, 22mm

Yours must be Kopeks, since there were no 15 or 20 denomination Roubles produced. There are pattern pieces made in copper. No silver :cry:

Cool...still don't know what happened. My phone showed this but the laptop gave me something different.

Very odd.
