gxseries Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Just in case you wondered if I disappeared off the face of the world - yes I did, but just for a short period of time Found myself a job and I feel extremely lucky. Did sell off some of the duplicates and that did help a bit. I've been looking through at some listings on ebay and I admit that I'm surprised over the amount of copies and "pattern" coins listed in particular by Russian sellers. While the Soviet pattern coins are copies, I admit that some of them look quite good if not deceptive. Even the Barcelona Olympic coins as well as some of the tougher bi-metal coins such as Chechen copies are available! I personally though that modern circulating coins cannot be copied however I don't know anything about Russia on her stance of counterfeit / copy coins. Guess that's all for now. Will be uploading some of the hundred of coins that I never got around to as well as working on my homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thought of you the other day when I got a 2007 Russian 10 kopek in change as a cent. First time I have ever gotten a Russian coin in change in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Many thanks everyone! Scottishmoney - not too sure how I am related to a 10 kopek but at least I am remembered in one way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 How do I know you are not related to a 2007 dated Russian 10 Kopek, should we do DNA tests for paternity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Scottishmoney - I think everyone will be related in this case. Everyone's got traces of metals in their blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
