RARENUM Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Guys, there are no need for name calling and such. I'm sure everyone has different opinions and are entitled to such. I'll be honest - I am a bit skeptical as well but I'm not saying it's impossible - just unlikely and therefore if it's genuine, that's what makes it scarce. Aren't polushka rather uncommon in the first place? I don't remember having a lot of polushka other than the early coinage of Anna. It is big difference between skeptical and the envious person.

STEVE MOULDING Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Back on the original subject...perhaps we can discuss what other copper mules are out there. I remember seeing some in one of Dmitry Markov's catalogs several years ago. I'll see what I can come up with. I don't have any in my collection that I know of.

alexbq2 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 That is very true. Let us set the admission as follows: 1. Anyone with a polushka that is at least 200 years old and at least either 50 rubles or R3 -- admission is free 2. Anyone else -- a bottle of good cognac (at least Tesseron Lot N° 29 "Exception" which I personally recommend) ) and they have to behave and be polite. I claim to have 1773 and 1776 EM polushkas (not Siberian), do I still need to bring cognac or will Sam Addams do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, 1776 is a different matter... Can you show a photo? I only saw 3 or 4 of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKB Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm sure I don't have anything interesting other than super corroded coins However, you could pass those for any coin you like: 1 kop 1767 mm, 1 kop 1789 mm, 1/4 kop 1789 am, 1 kop 1757 mmd -- the list goes on.

STEVE MOULDING Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 73 is hard to find too I'll put up some pictures in a couple of weeks Agreed both hard...but 76 is more than twice as difficult.

Tane Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I also have another mule: 1974 20 kopeks with averse of 3 kopek piece. That's cool I did some research with my 20 kopecks, and found out that atleast 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1985 have two varieties: some have large Soviet emblem on the obverse while the emblem on some others is much smaller. Coins with small emblem seem to be considerably scarcer (atleast in my coin jar ) than the ones with large emblems. There are also some other differences. Could the coins with small emblem have been struck with 3 kopeck dies? If that's the case, I'll join the Mule-Owners-Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 The way I tell them apart is the type of ribbons. Concave ribbons are on the 3 kop die. After comparing some 3 and 20 kopecks, I think that the small emblem coins have been struck with 3 kopeck die. The ribbons of "small emblem coins" seem to be similar to those of 3 kopecks.
