    Collector’s note: “S. Var(iant) not in Severin. Rare! Unicum?? C Џ Б!”

     

     

     

    Well, i bought some times ago 5 kop 1826 from ebay, MS62 and it had too that Sankt Petersburg upside down, so definately its not uniq.

    This upside down P was even mentioned in ebay but no one blinked an eye, when sincona says it, everyone loses their mind.

     

    Here is a potato for you, thanks for reading.

    09.06 was Morton and Eden auction.

    39 amazing Alexander I silver coins sold, coins are here.

    http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1374&category=28204

     

    I was curious about where they are from and is there more to come. I googled it and found a great story behind these gems.

     

    LONDON.- A group of rare silver Tsarist coins in extraordinary condition has been discovered among a large cache of otherwise mainly unremarkable coinage by specialist London auctioneers Morton & Eden. The 39 coins, struck during the reign of Alexander I, could raise as much as £100,000 when they are offered for sale on June 10. They were found by Jeremy Cheek when he was sifting through hundreds of small old envelopes of coins sent for appraisal by a descendant of an eastern European family whose members had emigrated to the West many years ago. Most was worn common coinage of low commercial value, but one envelope contained what appears to be part of a set of silver kopecks of different dates and face values struck by Tsar Alexander I who ruled as Emperor of Russia from 1801 until his death in 1825. The coins are small, ranging from 14mm to 22mm (0.55-0.87 inches) in diameter. “I was really surprised to find them in an otherwise fairly ordinary group of coins,” Mr Cheek said, “and moreover I was astonished by their condition. Clearly they have never been in circulation. Their origin remains a mystery. Each coin is a different variety, there being no duplication, and yet there are no apparent records of such a set having been issued.” Given their exceptional state of preservation, it was felt the coins should be officially graded for their condition to be fully appreciated by collectors. They were sent to the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) whose specialists inspected each coin individually. Coins are graded on a scale up to MS70, MS standing for “Mint State”. Most of the coins were rated at MS64 or above, five of them at MS66. The group also includes coins with extremely rare dates. A 10 kopecks of 1803 is the most valuable. It was graded at MS65 on the PCGS scale and is estimated at £15,000-20,000. A 5 kopecks of 1812 (MS64), is estimated at £8,000-12,000, and a 5 kopecks of 1825 (also MS64), is estimated at £6,000-8,000.

  7. is it rare? 1 EURO cent germany A 2005

    in World Coin Forum

    Posted

    :bthumbsup: art, seems that you dont hold them everyday in hand.

    1,2 and 5 cents supposed to be copper(red or brown) This one is golden. I have seen pictures in forum about these before. For sure it is rarer than normal one but personally i dont collect euro coins and dont know much more.

    Nice find anyway!

     

    Edit: If this would be lincoln 1 cent and made from brass or nickel, it would be ultimate rarity and $$$ signs would blink but not sure about euro coins.

  17. RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) coins 1921 - 23

    in Russian Coin Forums

    Posted

    thanks for sharing! Nice coins and gl with completing.

    My goal is to get them by type, 5 coins and all in mint state. 15k 1923, 50k 1922 and 1R 1921 are now in NGC.

    I have a strange 10k 1923, below the patina it looks like proof. Altought i dont have any experience with old proof coins with patina, i recognize only new ones that are like mirrors.

    It surely looks different than any other coin that i have but i dont know.......

    Hello!

    Finally a person who is intrested in Straits coins. I have one pretty piece. 10c 1883. I have looked for so long information about that on. None sold in Heritage and google doesntˇt find either any sold.

    This coin is going from Estonia to NGC to be slabbed in this spring with my Czar russian coins and french indo-china 10c 1898 etc. This is going to be my first time to slab the coins.

    Ok, about the coin. NGC population 4, best AU58, so called Key date.

    Enjoy photos! nice patina

    Btw, since you know much about them, what grade you think i will get?
