Almost all bidders had high feedback scores, no shill bidding took place (IMHO).
-
I say "fake" since it has never been used in Ekaterinburg.
-
That's the fake EM eagle, and it's hard to see the letters, I think E just looks a bit like K because of the die wear.
-
These coins were mass produced using somewhat simple equipment, and errors were not uncommon. Of course each error coin is unique. This one I think is pretty, but $390 is definitely a steep price.
-
If you find a coin like this in solid VF with great looking natural patina, then spending $150 would not bee too extravagant. For the coin here, which is corroded and cleaned I would not recommend paying more than $15.
-
IMHO this coin from seller mangolka2012 is B-A-D: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221043623085 I have a bad feeling about this one as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221043613702
-
A nice and rare coin!
-
You can also see the date 1756 from the baroque 1 kopeek. I would advice not to pay too much.
-
I like how the eagle is holding 2 orbs. BTW this is 1762 not 1756
-
One is here (sold twice): http://www.m-dv.ru/catalog/id,1040/prohod.html

If I ever made a coin it would probably look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261044087006

I'm surprised that NGC couldn't see the tooling on the coin? I thought they are well equipped with optics. Or is this a fake slab? Is it possible to check the number against their database?
-
The same coin was posted on http://coins.lave.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=332045&sid=25b778e310518fc25a17c5ba0c99420c Local experts agree that this use to be an early MM 2 kopeeks and has an altered date and mint mark.
-
Probably 1803 or 1804, which is a shame as they ruined a perfectly good coin
-
Perhaps Loyal Citizen could clarify the historical significance of this alteration? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574633083&toolid=10001&campid=5335826004&customid=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&icep_item=160817111742
-
Good point and even that coin is mostly just corroded, not much 'circulation' wear.
-
I would say that it would have to be re-engraved out of a different coin (IMHO). Most likely an MM overstrike. Of course in 1788 M-M is not under the horse. So is the date altered? Or both T and M are new? Also in 1788 the TM coins are mostly overdates 1788/7.
-
Why would it be an Overstrike?
-
A very nice coin Sigi. So what's at 3 o'clock? I've been looking through the 1763 EMs that show up on eBay (as I'm sure have you), and while I do not keep statistics, my impression is that the odds of finding an overstrike is more like 100 to 1 or higher.
-
Bad pictures. Bad Patina. Same fake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261028366279 Same seller: slade001 Fake 1856 5 kopeeks BM
-
Don't know anything about these, all I can make out is the circular inscription on the reverse, and it says "Anniversary (presumably 50th) - Moscow 2nd Gymnasium". Where Gymnasium means High School
-
Oops, thought you were in Germany
-
Congratulations Bobh! Looks like you had a good trip.
-
Does anyone like this coin:http://www.ebay.com/itm/320906189413 Polu-Poltinnik 1705, seller: tyrai

This forum does not allow for hosting a lot of pictures. I would guess that you ran out of space. Try hosting on ImageShack and pasting a link here.
