Thank you! Glad to hear that you are still alive and kicking!

Let it be the first post of 2024 here. Just would like to say hi to everyone! How are you holding up? Any news with you, anything interesting added to your collection? My latest addition to the collection is this wonderful SM 5 kopecks 1758. Much better looking in hand and I cleaned it up nicely too... Hope everyone is doing well!
-
Yes, I see now that FB is not letting the images to be accessed from other sites easily. Let's try this one from SM forum.
-
That's OK, always happy to see you here! I am staying loyal to this forum even if it is not very active at the moment.
-
Not 100% sure. I made group public, so I assume anyone should be able to see it on FB even without joining, just won't be able to place replies. Can you test this out and tell me please?

Happy to hear you got another nice coin safely from Katz!

😅 let's see if this works...

Hi guys,
I love this forum and will always keep my membership here and check it out from time to time. However, our communication here has dropped to its utmost minimum in the last few years. I just wonder, where else (apart from one on one, like in emails) we communicate with each other (in English). May be there are other forums or groups you are members of where we can find you. Can you please share your open to public numismatic communication sources?
I just created a new group on FB (adding a link to this forum on it). You are welcome to join for an alternative way to communicate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/727063118386348
Thank you,
Eugene

It would be interesting to see 1759 overstrike on 1 ore. As far as I know, SM stopped production of coins in 1758 (possibly due to the fire), while SPM continued overstriking into 1759 (2 kopecks), but that had nothing to do with ore overstriking. I've heard about 1 kopeck 1759 overstrike on 1 ore, but could never confirm this. Possibly this info carried on from Brekke? Question is where it got to Brekke from and are there coins to support this claim?
Looks like overstriking into 2 kopecks at SPM continued even into 1760. Just over a couple of years ago I reported finding a trustworthy image of such a coin.

Is that a stylised Star of David? I know the Himyarites adopted Judaism at some stage.
Not sure, but I had a similar thought.

Actually, solved this already.
Himyarite Kingdom (not a coin, but some sort of token)
Front: Asad al Kamil al Himyari
Back: Saba / Dhofar / Himyar - three towns of the kingdom.more details, including the ancient alphabet:

Looks like some kind of token from 1947 (according to Arabic tower clock,)
-
sounds like a pocket change of someone who traveled to the late USSR in 1991. )))
most probably worth very little. I'd suggest to try and sell on eBay in groups or as one large lot.
-
Can anyone give me idea what is this coin, etc.
-
try on your phone. it opened without a problem...
-
Which makes Sigi's coin as authentic as it can get.
-
Yep, this one. Didn't realize that image did not show up. Fixed it now. Can you show yours? I have the feeling there should be at least a dozen of them around.
-
Looks like a novodel to me. Nice find!
-
Very nice one!
Early KM and early TM coins have similar problems...
-
This is an interesting "antiquarian copy" of 4 kopecks 1796, as I would call it, that I bought at the last Katz auction.Looks somewhat same as or better than the so called 5 kopecks of 1796 (bеlow) that started appearing at the auctions in the last 20sh years mimicking the real coins (which are extremely illusive)... Happy with this filler as I doubt I will ever be able to afford a real cipher 4 kopecks...

1984 Sotheby's Virgil Brand sale Part 4. Many novodels and original 10 kopeks. The collection itself is very old. Brand was buying in all the early important auctions.
Hi IgorS, I asked Mr. Arefiev about access to these materials, here is his reply: "Your best bet to get good copies of the Brand sale pages would be American Numismatic Society in New York. They have a large collection of auction catalogues and welcome customer requests." Can you, or anyone, please suggest me a good contact in ANS in NY to access the scans of cipher coins with their descriptions (preferably)?

Somehow I missed this in 2019...
They are still available from Russian grading company on whose request they were issued: http://www.nnrcoin.ru/80i.Medal_2019_SPMD.htm
I've secured mine from another source. In any case they should have no problem sending this medal overseas, I believe, as it is a newly produced item and you should be still able to get it.
