Nice one! Great provenance and very well preserved kopek and date punches. Congrats!
-
Please, please post it

There has to be a reason to show a coin. In this case we are discussing WWCC auction, so I showed what I acquired.
Hard to do it out of context.
-
I second that.
-
But, it was not cheap.
-
I did not get anything from Bob Julian's section . But, I won one coin from the other section. There were some nice Catherine I roubles there. The one I won is not a beauty, but for the type it is one of the better ones I've seen - САМОДЕРИЦА.
It is not screwed with, has good original surfaces and a nice toning.
-
BTW, the cypher 10 kopeks from the first post considered by many to be a fake.
-
There are some nice Paul re-overstrikes in upcoming Markov auction.
-
There are few things about picking up coins at the auction that makes it questionable:
1. Will they give you coins that are not paid for yet?
2. Do you want to deal with customs on the way out of the country on the way home?
I usually do not pick up coins and wait for them to arrive by mail.

Hi, IgorS, how did you find out so early? I did a few bids and still waiting to get any word from Mr. Elmen.
If you tell me the lots, I can tell you what they sold for.

474 - $5250
475 - $2800
476 - $5300

Sunday is probably best case...

Here are the results:
Sincona Collection 1-1143: 10,911,310.00 (estimates 954,250)

Possibly, but I did not notice any in the room. But, I was there only for the first day. Auction was conducted in English. When there is interest in Russian coin from local buyers, auction normally switches to German (and English). I think the same thing occurred at Sincona, but I cannot recall for sure..
-
Only the lots marked in red in the catalog required gloves. And it was not fun. The gloves are slippery and I could not even get the coins out of the holders.
So I was being assisted with that part.
-
I attended first day only. I do not think all those high price items make any difference for us, middle layer collectors, or for coin market in general.
Still I was surprised about some prices. I was interested in 1808 EM denga. It had scratches all across the reverse. Still it fetched 17,000.
And I thought I had a chance due to its condition
In any case, I am glad I had a chance to handle those rarities (but had to wear gloves provided during veiwing).

This site is in Russian, but you can see the statistics from the recent years in auctions:

-
Upcoming Heritage auction has 3 pieces (you can still get one) and they had two more sold back in April.
The issue of mint statistics has to do with fiscal year vs. calendar year.
-
It's been on Ebay for a while. Save your money.
-
This piece in this discussion is 100 percent fake. Has no value.
-
How long has this coin been floating around your desk? These days a one in a nice grade will bring a few thousand dollars.

Nice coins! I assume you will be grading them. Let us know how it comes out. I think they will do well.
