Full Version: My first Russian Gold
I have finally managed to get my first Imperial Russian gold - not hard years nor particularly special coins but I managed to get them at a reasonable price and am quite happy with them

Congratulations!
Which mintmaster initials are on the edge of these coins? For the 5 rouble coins, 1901-AP would be a good find (particularly in this good condition).I would weigh them, though -- there are some pretty good fakes out there. 5 roubles should weigh 4.3 grams, 10 roubles twice that.

The Mintmaster appears to be Felix Zaterman based on the O3 on the edge
Apologies for not putting the correct symbol (don't know how) - just put O3 and hoped you allow for it.
I will weigh them first chance I get

Don't worry, we know who he is 
That did remind me, I actually got myself a 1900 5 ruble coin a long time, didn't like it and sold it almost right away. Didn't regret it - never liked Nicholai 5 ruble gold coins - they are just way too small.

No problem ... The easiest way to insert special characters is via the "Character Map" utility in Windows Accessories (there's also one in the Linux Ubuntu distribution which I was happy to discover
).
These marks means in our letters FZ
In russian, there is just too much sszzžž marks, 6 or 7 and this what looks like 3 is Z
