A basic question, but how does one know when a novodel such as this was minted? Thanks.
-
There was a article several years ago that included discussion of counterfeits. Somewhat scholarly. I found it after finding mine were not authentic. That is in other posts. Good luck.
-
Yes indeed. If one looks at Goldberg Auction 84, the prices seem much lower. Did others think this a the NY sales as well. And some good pieces did not sell. I have thought it has to do with the weak rouble. Best -

Thanks to you both. I do not have the vaguest interest in these. Look cleaned. Poor strike. Hole. Silly description. I like to see what is going on at EBAY and it amused to have these two as the very first that show up.

This is my first time back in about 18 months. Such good minds here. Good to see some of the regulars still here. Lots of us learn from what other post and are relatively quiet. It is a challenge though when prices are high, quantities are scarce, and for most of us, the period of collection ended in 1917. I have no interest in Soviet coins. This is not a market that is easy to enter now.

My NCS experience was with silver. But they did a good job with that. A fine coin.

The coins do not look very authentic to me.

Hi -
In checking these coins out, it occurred to me that the obverse portrait seems to be of higher relief than other coins. Is this correct? Or it seems the strike of the obverse is not as crisp as with other coins? I see coins of varying grades but simply cannot see that much difference generally on the portrait - unless there is some frostiness involved. Thoughts welcome. Thanks.
-
Agree with the above. A quick way to judge the grade of these 1762 coins is by checking the condition of the hair rolled by the ear. For most, this is worn away. This is a very nice coin.

I would be interested in lot 324 please. Thanks.

It is the business of our very own Loyal Citizen, here on the forum.
The auction ended on May 17.

Hello everyone -
Have the results of this been released and if so, did anyone hit the jackpot? If not, when might those be released?
I was very tempted and it is a pleasure doing business there, but went with a deal with the World Money Shop instead and am very pleased with that deluxe experience.

Hi everyone -
Some of us like slabbing and i happen to be among those.
I purchased an expensive rouble from a very reputable dealer who has a seven day return policy. He pointed out the flaws in the coin but also suggested it was an excellent piece with no problems he could see. It has great eye appeal. Image should be attached.
While he detests slabbing, he sent the coin in for me to be slabbed as I requested. After seven weeks, the coin was returned with the news that the coin is of questionable authenticity. But the plot thickened today when he sent me that news from NGC.
He revealed for the first time what he had not revealed before: He purchased the coin in an NGC slab at "AU details", He showed me the image of the broken slab. He dislikes slabs so much that he broke it out after he purchsed it.
He called NGC about this. I would accept it at that AU details "grade" but a resubmission is no guarantee of getting different results. He could send the coin in again with the borken slab and we would see. I am not sure i could afford a higher grade coin.
So I am thinking over what to do: Resubmit or take the money and run. Best - DAJ

A book which my friend and I helped each other and produced this great book.
Often these rare coins are rarely mentioned in most catalogue books. Although such reading materials are available, most of them are not translated into English. In this book, there are at least 12 different coins described in here, with all the historical details of why it was minted. A catalogue value is also provided, which reflects the current trends this year.
Of course, this will be a good idea what how such rare coins look like, as some of Imperial Commemorative coins may be as low as 100 dollars but some are starting to hit the high end of thousands, and some are starting to hit near 10 thousand dollars!
Cost + postage around the world internationally is 7USD (sorry, ultra expensive shipping fees here ) If you want two copies however, I will make it 10USD. Not a problem at all. Payment: whatever way you wish, paypal is ok.
*I am hoping Tane will give me his review later on... *
Hey gx seroes - do you still produce this? Looks very interesting. Best -

The article is "The Minting of Platinum Roubles" by Christoph J. Raub. You will find that with Google. I cannot seem to post the link.
