Bitkin's catalog is not done by die variety, but mostly by type. New Diakov;s catalog should give a better id for the coin, but your pictures are so small...

Interesting. Looks like equipment malfunction of some sort.

Try this database put together by the member of our forum: http://www.rnumis.com/rnumis_auctions_0.php If it is not there, possibly you can get some information from Kolbe and Fanning.

It is not good at all.

Yes, go ahead and post it. I am not registered at coins.su

I posted pictures here as well: http://staraya-moneta.ru/forum/messages/forum16/topic75396/message683164/#message683164

Well, not the entire collection is on display, but only the highlights. The rest is in the back rooms in the Numismatic Department. Some explanation on how coins ended up at the Smithsonian is here: http://americanhistory.si.edu/numismatics/russianc/russ.htm

I recently visited the Smithsonian at Washington DC, specifically the Museum of American History. As you might know, the collection of Russian coins once owned by Grand Duke Georgii Mimkhailovich Romanov "lives" there. Coins were not on public view at the museum for a long time, but finally some coins went back on display and the exhibit was open to public yesterday. I have a few blurry pictures showing the layout and the feel. Hopefully Alex can help me in posting them here. Better pictures will be available in the near future.

Eugene, you are on the right track !

There was a big discussion on it on Staraya Moneta. Check it out.

That's quite an upgrade. Congrats!

Sigi, You can do with the coin image as you wish. No worries there.

OK, picture updated.

Hi Eugene. No immediate plans for the next Journal. I am sure there will be an interest in your article in one of the Russian numismatic publications. Good luck! Since I am not familiar with your work on 2 kopeks of 1802 - what gave you an idea to create yet another article on 1802 2 kopeks? Were there shortcomings in the prior works? Is there a new discovery?

Thank you for the photo tips. I will keep them in mind while trying to make a better photo of 1763 coin. Probably over the weekend.

Hi Sigi, I tried to take a better picture today, but the coin is dark and I cannot get enough light (today is not sunny so far). In any case. I uploaded the new image to Omnicoin and it automatically updated in all the posts where it shows.

Thank you! Nothing is sweeter to a collector than appreciation of his efforts from fellow collectors

And now here is my last large copper (this time it is almost true ) Also ex Brekke and one of my favorites. There is something about it! I did pretty well with Paul re-overstrikes. Had most of them. But I find it impossible to keep it all and keep on collecting. So we do what we can.

The next two I showed in the past in some other topics. This one has EM of the 10 kopek undercoin showing pretty clearly.

One more "yellow". This one is ex Brekke.

Since we are on the topic of re-overstrikes, here is a common one. But the color what is being referred to in Russia as "yellow" - the most desirable of them all.

Sigi, I will make better pictures. Just do not know when . I realized that I also kept a few Paul re-overstrikes 5 kopek pieces. But will show them some other time.

Thank you!. One more, bad picture, but you get the idea.

Yes, I saw you there. I was a little below you. Not that I needed this coin, but would not mind it for cheap. Rare coin in decent ( for the type) shape.
