Thanks Eugene!

Hello all -
I recently launched a new website www.rnumis.com for selling numismatic literature. It's primarily older auction catalogs (at least for now) and there's a heavy emphasis on Ancients & Russian (my two collecting & research interests). There are about 40 items there so far but I will keep adding as time allows.
Also, I may open it up for other literature sellers at some point down the road but haven't worked that part out yet.
Please take a look and let me know if anything is of interest or if you have any comments.
Thanks,
SteveUpdate: June 2013. Over 150 catalogs and fixed price lists now on the site.

It's puzzling to me why no one has tried it out and reported on their experience
Ron
I did try it out over many hours and I did report my experience. As you know.

Hi all,
With my bookshelves sagging under the weight of about 600 catalogs, russian and ancient, I've decided to start moving some of them. To that end, I've put together a new website www.rnumis.com . The content is quite light at the moment but it will pick up.
Also, if any US-based friends like the format and would like to discuss selling their own catalogs/books on the site, drop me a PM.
Thanks,
Steve

Looks OK to me

Hi Sigi. It's been my experience for some time that the 58MM is rarer. I know somebody else who would confirm this
The guidebooks are, by and large, the same information from a hundred years ago just expressed differently. Few people actually do the work to check.
Best,
Steve

in my dataset (about 160 coins)

Lot 1 ($8000 estimate) is the R3 variation (St George with cloak/cape). It is the same coin ex Warsaw Sale 30 (2004), Lot 553, $800.

Well it's not realistic, put it that way. $6 in F-VF is about right.

No. Completely different people
Count Ivan Ivanovich Tolstoy - 1858-1916
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy - 1828-1910 (author)

Doesn't seem to match the Tolstoi plate coin - at least on a first look. Markings and denticle patterns appear to be different, but who knows. Tolstoi is a 1913 photo, and this one is in a slab. I'd just do a very careful comparison and get provenance proof (if available) before paying any kind of big money.

Thank you very much..and please thank Mr. Bitkin. Very interesting.
The Garchine collection, as I know, was sold in the J. Schulman sale of December 1931, so that coin would have been re-offered in Berlin at Ball Nachfolger just 1 year later (December 1932). I don't have the Schulman catalog but believe it has only 1 plate (for 438 lots) so it's unlikely the 1806 AT was one of the photographs. The lot description may say something interesting. Does anyone have the Schulman catalog?

Mr. BKB is being modest. The 1812EM Kopeck is a very rare coin. It was unlisted in Brekke, though appeared in the later Brekke/Bakken supplement with a note that "its existence is now confirmed by Uzdenikov". I have only one photographic record of it, the Zubov example from 1897. Giel & Ilyin priced at at 40 Roubles and Bitkin lists it at R3.
If it is indeed real, it's a great coin!

Got the grade today from PCGS, they graded it a MS66. I think there is only one in NGC slab.
Does anyone know of any auctions for a MS66?
I searched and came up empty handed
The Goldbergs sold a PF67 in 2000, as did Аукционный Дом "Александр" in 2005.
Heritage sold an MS65 in 2008, an MS64 in 2009, and an MS65 in 2010.
It's all on m-dv.ru

Any news about the 1915 reference?

I think it's fake
What is this medal? Seems to commemorate 1828 Russo-Turkish war
