I was literally off my table as I wasn't really expecting a beauty like this:







Nicholai I 5 kopeks are amazingly difficult to get hold of in nice condition and that makes it complete of my other 5 kopek that I have,



That I pulled out from a dealer's 2 dollar junk coin lot a few years ago so I'm not going to complain

The amazing thing of this coin is that it is aUNC, still has some original red lusture, an overdate of 3/1 (I believe) and as well as, the reverse is struck on a brockage! (You should be able to see the reversed words of "kopeks" in between the necks of the double head eagle)

Once again, thank you Jose

VERY NICE, gxseries!
I couldn't see the brockage, but the overdate is quite clear.

Oh come on bobh, you can't be that blind

If you look at the larger picture and especially the left side of the double head eagle's neck, you should be able to see the letter "E" in reverse glaring out of background. From there, it should be pretty clear that it must have been a brockage.

Nice coins qx, congrats!

Dang ~ I thought Jose only sent me the good stuff

I like it!

put me on Jose's list, please!

How right you are! Thanks for the pointers.

Congratulations on an exceptionally nice overdate. I would quibble a bit about the brockage, however, as it is more likely that the lettering is from clashed dies.

Congratulations on a neat coin, gx! Those large coppers are always impressive, especially with some red remaining.

Very nice.

Thanks everyone and Julian - always appericated

I often have troubles telling the differences

Would this too happen to be a die clash?



Reversed 7 can be seen under the right leg of the double headed eagle.

Yes, this also appears to be from clashed dies.
