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?

If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

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

Very odd.
