sigistenz Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi everybody, see here my two 5kop1789AM. The first one shows the I over the E which is normal saying Ekaterina Imperatritsa. But the second one has the E over the I saying consequently the other way round, thus Imperatritsa Ekaterina - No? http://www.sigistenz.com/bilder/5kop1789AMd2x.jpg The E over I is much scarcer, I have a similar couple only of 5kop1764MM but saw it also on EM, KM, TM piataks. Do you have any E over I - and which ones? Thank you, Sigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi everybody, see here my two 5kop1789AM. The first one shows the I over the E which is normal saying Ekaterina Imperatritsa. But the second one has the E over the I saying consequently the other way round, thus Imperatritsa Ekaterina - No?http://www.sigistenz.com/bilder/5kop1789AMd2x.jpg As far as the Russian grammar is concerned, it doesn't make any difference which word order is used. But it does make for an interesting variety. The E over I is much scarcer, I have a similar couple only of 5kop1764MM but saw it also on EM, KM, TM piataks. Do you have any E over I - and which ones? Thank you, Sigi This seems to be E over I (top of monogram, right?): My 1791-KM пятак But it is a borderline case, hard to tell. There also seems to be many varieties where the order of the lower intersections vary. Please feel free to take a look at my other 5 kopek coins and tell me if you see anything unusual. Thanks for pointing this out, Sigi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I have 1787-1788 TM -3 coins with E over I Rarenum, thank you, this confirms my observations - as far as have seen, most if not all genuine TM piataks show the E over the I. As I am about to do further research on the phenomenon I will be obliged for pictures when you find the time - thank you again! Sigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing this out, Sigi! bobh, thank you, your coin seems to be an E over I, but it is sometimes difficult to tell even after little wear. It was a pleasure viewing your coins! I'd love to see mine presented that way - I will just have to start out one day. Best wishes for 2007 (don't go too high on eBay piataks)!
