IgorS Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hoping that no one notices is no longer possible. Too many knowledgeable collectors. Just put in your max and hope for the best. I actually had this coin type in the past, but this one is nicer. At the auction like Kunker it would probably fetch double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hope is what keeps us going! But seriously, that auction was exciting! It looked very promising until about 5 minutes before the end, and even in the last minute there was a glimmer of hope... until all the snipes came through.

one-kuna Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 it was R2 by Bitkin, one grand for it was cheap from one point, you right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 It's true that you can resell this coin for a significant profit, and it would make sense to bid higher if that's the goal. But if you're buying it for yourself then all the usual budgetary restraints make it difficult to go higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Has anyone been keeping track of the 1994 coins especially some 3 ruble commeorative coins and some bimetal coins? Not talking about any silver coins. Some prices shocked me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 in 1994 or before i lost the interest on commemorative coins completely however i like to read a story about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorS Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 It is a fake. The identifying mark is the line on the reverse through the tail that ends under the orb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Why would it be an Overstrike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterShell Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hmmm..The only thing that I don't like is the way that "T" is placed.. All of the items visible on MDv have "T' and "M" "paralel.. here the letters are dancing :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I would say that it would have to be re-engraved out of a different coin (IMHO). Most likely an MM overstrike. Of course in 1788 M-M is not under the horse. So is the date altered? Or both T and M are new? Also in 1788 the TM coins are mostly overdates 1788/7.

alexbq2 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Perhaps Loyal Citizen could clarify the historical significance of this alteration? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574633083&toolid=10001&campid=5335826004&customid=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&icep_item=160817111742 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The 2nd 1 in 1810 is too thick, apparently some common date for the 1804EM eagle side has been altered into 1810. The KM mint mark letters are not of the normal style. Sigi - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Probably 1803 or 1804, which is a shame as they ruined a perfectly good coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same coin was posted on http://coins.lave.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=332045&sid=25b778e310518fc25a17c5ba0c99420c Local experts agree that this use to be an early MM 2 kopeeks and has an altered date and mint mark.

alexbq2 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm surprised that NGC couldn't see the tooling on the coin? I thought they are well equipped with optics. Or is this a fake slab? Is it possible to check the number against their database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
