Armen

I would like to Thank all the people that helped in this matter Especial Thanks to Eugene, Gunter , Coinpeople and others.

Squirrel No worries 

Finally I figured it out here’s the envelope picture

this is the envelope i found dating back to 02/27/1985 i'am assuming it was to Mr. Spasskii because the photo's were in that envelop it is from the Hermitage in Leningrad for some reason i can not upload the picture  

This is the best picture i can take of the edge of the coin

Thank you for the reply i came across some paper this the same coin from Arslan's collection i found out that my father had registered this coin with ANA in Colorado so this is the North Hollywood Constantine from Arslan's collection I don't read Russian that's why i haven't read Spassky's book  I have emailed Dimitry Markov about this coin here is his letter to me. I just don't know what  else i can do at this point i dont think Dimitry Markov will put it in his auctions 

Armen,

Thanks for the information. Very interesting!

Ruble of Constantine - the most famous and expensive Russian coin. On it is written a lot of books, articles, the history of each copy is well known. It is known since the 19th century which is or was. Names of collectors and museums. New (or unknown) of copies foreseen. Fake a lot different.

I do not want and do not have the right to these words puts a coin into question. But this is such a case that the host must share all known information, such as correspondence with Spassky.

Please, I am ready to talk on the phone, but this conversation came to nothing lead. Only the specific information and documents. It is also well uidet photo coins including milling.

Best regards, Dmitry

Well I just got the 1825 Constantine one ruble back from NGC and they’re saying it is not genuine which I don’t agree with them if they couldn’t authenticate this coin In Leningrad I don’t know anybody that could authenticated or say it’s not genuine Any suggestions on what else I can do. My next move is Sending the coin to PCGS and let me see what they’re going to say and if it is not a genuine is there any auction houses that will auction it off

well i have sent the coin to NGC waiting to see what the results will be
