Here is the most recent acquisition to my poltina collection:

1914-BC, type I obverse

Thanks to RW Julian, I was able to spot this one in a recent eBay auction. Unfortunately, there was at least one other bidder who knew that it wasn't the run-of-the-mill variety

... BUT the price I paid wasn't too exhorbitant, at least not by the Kazakov prices from 2004!

There is a nice 1914 second obverse (wide rim, embossed striking) in XF/AU selling right now on eBay for about the same as I paid for this one!

(I dare not say what I paid for my other 1914 poltina about 2 years ago...nobody would talk to me anymore!)

A nice way to end the year, don't you think?

Я желаю Всем всего хорошего с новым годом!
С сердечным приветом,

Thanks, banivechi. This is exactly the same auction to which I was referring in my first message, but didn't post the link to it!

It is the type 2 poltina.
