kisenish Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Dear community I would like to share with you a really nice exemplare of Peter I. Amazing, problem-free coin with iridiscent patina - scarce in this grade. Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJ Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Besides the patina on this coin, can someone explain the cross used on many of these earlier coins - as opposed to the Romanov coat of arms? Thanks. Also, posted a question about patina and the nice, soft one of this coin? What are general preferences for patina these days? Lighter the better? Again, thanks much.

grivna1726 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Besides the patina on this coin, can someone explain the cross used on many of these earlier coins - as opposed to the Romanov coat of arms? Thanks. It's not a cross. It is a monogram consisting of 4 Cyrillic "P"s ("P" for "Peter"). Nice coin, Kisenish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Interesting enough, that coin design is somewhat similar to the earlier generation of the French franc silver coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisenish Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Thanks a lot, guys! In real, the coin is much better than on the scans because one does not see all the scratches, some of them I saw first on the scan, then on the coin And really good patina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
