Is it just me or is there an odd discoloration right around the last digit?
hard tell, without a better pic. that might be some undercoin. what is in that spot, eagles wing or shoulder area i would guess?
I think you should buy it none the less, Sigi, just to have a closer look and solve the puzzle!
-
Sigi, do you have an image handy for the 1781 spm NOVODEL? Why would a Novodel have been requested or struck, if no original had existed? Was there a rumor or anecdote of such a coin existing?
-
My first thought would be an altered date. The 1 digits dont seem quite the same in this photo.
Have you seen the coin in person?
-
this stuff is all fake: I reported, but a few more would help, as they are still up.

Diakov's book has photograph from the real coin. If you so desire, you can make a trip to Hermitage, pay $200 and ask them for a better photo. Did you know that there is an intersing super rare 1710 ruble? You should check into that one too. Why get stuck on just 1707. Picture of that one can be requested from GIM, probably for the same amount - $200.
rare coin? pay $$$ ok.
rare picture of rare coin for $$$? no thank you.

Here is mine, guys. I am wracking my brain to remember where i bought it... possibly WAG
Very interesting about the variants, including the different "M" dies!
-
Why wasn't it sold if it was problem-free?
It wont fit in a slab. Thats a problem for some.
-
Has there been any further developments to the rumors about the consignor of this collection being Soderman? It sounded like a fascinating story.
-
Nice catch!
btw, I just checked out your omnicoin... That 1757 Grivennik is a stunner! wonderful portrait.
congrats!
-
Is that what you kids are calling it these days, now that it is legal in several states?
-
where else can you get 2 coins for the price of 1 than Russia overstrikes! Sometimes 3!

Mine has a badly overcooked bird... but i like it!
-
Thanks Steve.. I didnt bid anything this time. Nothing in particular, other than perhaps unsold lots for bottom feeding
-
Is that the one on the cover? Damn.. the prettiest one i have EVER seen! congrats to the lucky owner.
say, what do i need to do to get on the PR mailing list for WWC? I get the catalogs.
-
I will report it. Its a fake,. Gorny provenance or not. The seller has some nice coins otherwise, but a bit ambitious on pricing.

I do not know the ins and outs of the grading business. Is there some sort of insurance or backbone behind the opinions of the obviously fallible experts who entomb such a joke of a fake in a plastic box with an "official" pedigree?
a fake is a fake.

Sorry I missed your post ... I answered it now (over in the photography forum)!
Happy T-Day, BTW!
Happy T-Day !

Sounds like fun, Bobh!
Im thinking of making a fixture out of wood strips, and using some picture frame glass. Im trying different lenses, as well. Im using a Nikon D7000. I dont have a macro lens, but my 70-300mm telephoto is working with an extension tube for close focus. seems to work OK, but focus is a bit of trial and error. The tripod helps ALOT! good tip about the black. some black barbeque grill paint should do the trick.

Can I get your opinion on this 1 Polushka KM 1802. coin?
It was sold as Novodel by one of auction houses:
-
Are you trying to sell this coin?
Auction runs another 3 days...
Hey Bobh, did you see my post on the coin photography forum? I was wondering what you ended up using for glass in your axial setup.... any luck?
ill check back over there for your reply...

Got it!
Beautiful!

This seller has been all over ebay lately with many fakes both copper and silver. Rarely they are listed as "copy" or "can not be sure if genuine", but mostly no description. The coin you link to is fake. I would never buy ANYTHING from this seller. I have already reported several of his coins, but unless ebay gets multiple electronic reports on a listing or seller, they take NO action.
