So sorry to hear this. Keep us posted on this. I had wondered about using Katz and this answers that question. FYI a top coin guy told me that you are always safe if you buy com members of International Association of Professional Numismatists. So I always check Katz is not a member

Thanks!

Great analysis. Checkinga out book on Amazon. Thanks!

Greetings - I recently became aware of this medal and am wondering if anyone has info regarding scarcity and value. Links below show past sales. Few example shows on Internet. And i have no resources on medals. Anyody possess one? https://www.auctionzip.com/auction-lot/Russian-Bronze-Medal,-Tsar-Alexander-II-liberates_A494452A05/ https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=2752&lot=591 Thanks and best. Dwight

Never seen anything like this. Thanks.

Thanks, Alex!

http://numistika.com BTW, Eugene has some good Youtube clips on his website about identifying the types of this coin. Very helpful to sharpen one's eyes in coin identification. Mine need it. Thanks again Eugene.

Thanks Sigi and Eugene! This is a big help. Need to check more out. Eugene’s book is remarkable BTW. Best. Dwight

Greeting. I think Bitkin show two basic categories of this coin, one with two flags and one with three. I can see no difference in obverse side of coin. Am i wrong? With wear and rough images it is hard to identify reverse type. Tips? I have a scanned version of Bitkin on my iPad which is very handy . But could use some guidance please Best Dwight

Not sure but very good to hear from you!

From what I seen many show wear. Beautiful! Was wondering about age so this looks like Catherine II. Very interesting. thanks and congrats

Book arrived today. Speedy delivery. Beautiful and remarkable book! I am amazed to see a book focusing on these particular coins. Thanks so much! Dwight

That is it! I was having trouble getting an image. This looks similar to the Numista image at https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces114409.html What are our thoughts on this? Thanks, Eugene. I am eager to receive your magnum opus book!

Hello - I was scanning things and came across this coin. It is very interesting and a very old novodel. Does anyone have any thoughts on this coin? Experiences or does anyone have images to share. Any proud owners? Novodels interest me. And for one to be so old. Seems odd and even a little mysterious. Thanks much.

Eugene is wonderful in assisting me with info on the book. From what I have seen, the coin images he has are the finest I have ever seen anywhere. That is awesome for me an anyone who purchases. Best to all.
