It pays watching the 1860 minor silver coins closely, as the differences are not too evident. Enjoy, Sigi<br>
P.S.: This 1860 20kop with the scarce 1860 eagle (left in the picture) can be yours at $78 postpaid.

Why is it always that the nicer design gets replaced by something not so.. err... nice? Compare the heads of the eagles, the 1860 looks much better.

Great coin.

A bit too great....

Would you sell it to me? bhyper.gif

The common type had a die crack at 9'o'clock biggrin.gif
The main different detail I think it is at Moskow's coat of arms (St George killing the dragon), there the design's differences are evident.

Sure, Tane! I am sending you a PM.<br> I also think that the 1860 eagle had been nicer than the later design. Maybe the 1860 eagle design was considered a bit too bold to resist circulation?? Sigi
