banivechi Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Rarely? Hmm, not really... Nice trial, beautiful Victory design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 You, Tane and Sir Sisu are like the main people who come in here. The rest rarely do come though, probably from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I think it might be somekind of a fantasy issue. How much did you pay for it? Are you sure it is made of Gold? Does it really weigh 15,5 gramms? Where did you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 OH lol no, it's definately not gold. I am suspecting that it's nickel-bronze or some kind of alloy, but I definately never ever seen similar like this. It is actually two different planchets, so they are both one-sided. Well I don't know, if it is really a fantasy issue, but it looks too horribly similar to the official one that is issued later. All details like the Kremlin and the details of the angel... All I get from the seller is that he / she got it from some Moscow coin dealers... so I don't know if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Okay. I think it can't be anything "real". Since people often don't know russian coins too well, it is easy to make such coins and sell them for big $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hehehe, well I paid less than 100USD, so I am quite happy. I was almost prepared to blow off parts of my collections to get it. Well I don't know if it is a genuine trial coin or not, but who knows. It even has the MMD mintmark on it to make it look horribly similar to the official coin. *geez, it's so odd!!! My russian coins have so many stories to tell!!!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Here is another two links that you might find it interesting. My coins are something like that too, both unifaced, except that mine isn't gold plated. 1988 Trial 50 ruble Gold Coin 1989 Trial 50 ruble Gold Coin What do you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
