i dont know either one; and I am not against your project; i am very doubt of this because of short of coins to enjoy your idea; lets take ruble 1737; give me an example what would you download into your database for it ?

do you think this topic helped him in order to complile his catalog ?

I am glad that this topic was viewed over 18000 times !

i like "we"

true

better to post this medal in russian coins section to find more answers, to me this medal is not of significant historical importance but regular mint issue with intersting design

coins before today are in few data bases so according you - you will duplicate it too ?

nice one of course but did not get it what is so terrific about it

i am not saying anything against of it but two minus points are - existing data bases are covered a lot of materials and you cannot substitute it plus many coins from private collections and museums will not posted in your data base now, what kind of materias and from where can be in your new data base?

I saw better than this, this one has some minus points too and it is not in high condition

interesting to me from this die clash is the little cross attached to berry on very top of 7 in the date

to see a proof - take a look on mint sets - they are usually made as proof, but some as UNC

habanos, your ruble is NOT rare type but regular one, the one which is rare has different legend but identical to rubles of 1922; also, welcome to coinpeople !!

put my 2 kopeks in: this project is interesting however there are so many catalogs right now and few data bases on the market that one more as you propose will not make any difference in all, IMXO

one of them are rubles of Peter II, IMXO

i saw this link on one forum dont remember which one, also this story can be fabricated jut for soviet militsia propaganda IMXO

i read rucoin thread - nobody said anything smart just bla bla bla

is this coin same from certificate?

Dear Sir, please re-read the Mr Elmen letter-respond addressed specifically to you - that letter clearly expalined about russian numismatic society and its rules and regulationas including copyright. Why so simple things should be repeated and repeated again to you. You personaly has no legal rights to take anything from journal and use without society permission on the web - so then please delete all as you promissed earlier. Period.

Its not about Mr Zander, it is violating RNS journal copyright

Dear Mr rnsdb, This is some words from Mr. Elmen to me regarding you activities or anyone who is trying to take out materials from JRNS: "1) The RNS is not dead. It has a bank account, numerous published journals and other references as assets and a new journal in preparation and a new printing company which is cheaper than the one used by Julian in the past. The organization has been dormant while we find a suitable replacement for Bob Julian as editor (not an easy task). 2) The RNS has always run at a slight financial loss with the shortfall made up by generous donations, mostly from us. At one time my wife donated $1300 when the society was very broke. Sales of back journals has always helped to keep the society afloat. Depriving the society of that potential income by rendering our inventory of back journals worthless would do great harm to the financial stability of the organization. 3) I am strongly against the free internet distribution of our copyrighted material. 4) If Mr. Vlack wants to cyber-help the RNS he could publish the front covers of the journals which contain the tables of contents and indicate how people can order the journals with articles of interest.. This could lead to higher recognition of and interest in the society. Thanks for your concern, James F. Elmen".

Mr R W Julian assisted me a lot in editing my numerous articles in our journal of RNS. He shared with me how he writes his articles, sometimes how it is hard to start even a sentence. Mr Julian is true expert of russian coins. He knows so much that really our phone conversations sometimes took one way street - him talking and giving out to me all what he knew, all what he could focus and remembered at the time of talk. Thank you Mr. Julian for all what you did for me ! 4500 pieces is a large accumulation of coins and I am curious if World-Wide will be able to sell all of them. They usually sells not more then few hundreds.

I am awating on Mr.Elmen's comments to above ( I sent him a link earlier this morning )

do you think a current founder of russian numismatic society could be happy, when he finds out that you are going to use the journal materials on your website, instead of him selling printed back journal issues to the collectors and keeping the society with very very little budget, which sometimes not even enough to cover the next journal issue ? did you ask him ?
