kopeikin

So poltina sold for $11,500. I followed the link for 25 kop - the new owner accepting offers. Interesting.

Actually wings down poltina went for 13,500 after comission. Owner also accepts offers. Strange. Price is far from being a bargain.

Like this?

Unfortunately I am not able to participate in this auction. System on Molotok would not allow me to bid saying that seller does not ship this item accross Russian border. What can I doooo....

yes. like that or better.

I am looking for POLTINA wings down in attractive condition. If someone has for sale please let me know.

.....Please show coins only from trusted sellers, as there is no harm in promoting them! And who knows, may be they will drop their prices soon....

 

Somehow I do not see the logique here. If anyone promoted my coins I probably would raise the price right away. Also I am sure you can speak Russian to user valeriavaleria71 and beat them for a better price for coin you are watching.

Hope to start collecting coins from new Russian Empire?

Let's wait for coins for occupied Crimea.

If you really up to messing with this coin may be you can contact NSC customer service with your coin photographs and ask if they can improve appearance of this coin. As to me I believe nothing can or should be done to corrosion on this coin. In fact I like this coin the way it is.

A picture is worth thousands words. Could you show a picture of coin problems?

Well... OK. This one just a quite old example so probably harmless for my luck. I purchased this coin about 2 years ago for $750 on eBay. I later graded it as NGC MS 63. You might know how much NGC MS 63 1915 rouble might cost today. Here is a picture. ....Shoot! Again picture is too big to upload. This forum is still pain in the back for loading any good quality pictures. May be this is another reason it is dying...

I will not tell about my best bargains as people who sold it to me might be still here. This may make future bargains not possible. Some bargains though were worth up to may be hundreds or occasionally thousands of dollars of profit.

Don't know. I do know that I never check that subforum. It would be easier, to just post things in a thread here, for those of us who are narrowly specialized. At least, I would check a thread here.

I support you in this. Russian coins should be traded separately. Either here or elsewhere but not in general section of foreign coins trading.

Can you imaging the change once they open the boarder lifting stupid law and let people sell outside the country?

Dream on. This certainly will not happen during our lifetime. Time passes, people there do not change.

... Must have something to do with the market today in Russian coins, which IMHO is pretty much "kaputt" these days for the average collector -- as opposed to speculants. Sad, but true.

Hi, bobh, why do you think there is no much Russian coin market in Russia for avarege collector? What do you mean by this? Is it that it is difficult to buy coins due to high prices or the opposite when prices for coins are falling due to lack of interest? I personally see a trend of price falling for coins in average condition and prices for coins in MS condition are at about same price level.

Why did this place die? I miss the nice discussions and some arguments...

 

Apparently most of Russian speaking members moved their focus to Russian forums as ЦФН, Самара and Старая Монета. On other hand, let us face it, everything in the world has its life cycle: birth, maturity and subsequenty ... death. may be this is what is happening with Russian Coin forum here.

I bid online but bid cheap, so not much hope to win. Anyways anyone knows when results are planned to be published online?

Happy New Year to all of you and your families. And good coin deals in new year!

I recently purchased this coin for my trading fund. Is it scarce? My Volmar catalog values it pretty high for whatever reason. I am looking for 3 kopeck coins of same period (same eagle type or a later "skinny" one). Is there anyone interested to trade?

Why should that nice coin be imprisoned in a slab!

Sigi

-

well. I love my coins but hate to loose money. knowing that one day I will sell them I am forced to slab them. just a provenance of being purchased from WWCC might be not good enough to even get my money back unless coins are slabbed in high MS.

Lot 405 rev.

Lot 405. Obv.

I do not know why I cannot upload anything anymore after uploading previous file (460K) in previous post. File of reverse is only 460K and system says to me "maximum single file upload is 30MB"? This does not make any sense. Anyone knows what to do? Is there a lifetiume limit for uploading on this forum?

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Figured it out on my own. There is a maximum limit of 30 MB of upload files per person on this forum. This SUCKS! I had to delete some of my previous fotos in order to clean out my uploading ability. Anyways here is reverse of lot 395.

Show you as promised. Lot 395. Obverse
