gxseries Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Just well worn. Maybe cleaned in the past. Perhaps something like that will go over 150Euros or something but dont' quote on me. People these days are insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Should not be more than $250 even these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Oldman, you SHOULD see how they are auctioned on ebay these days. People even pay crazy prices on damaged coins even for this! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=180086217416 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeningradDutch Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 If it is authentic, I'd say $2500+ Do you think that NGC overlooked a fake? If its slabbed in the box the chances of a fake a low in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisenish Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Do you think that NGC overlooked a fake? If its slabbed in the box the chances of a fake a low in my opinion. Unfortunately, you are wrong. There are a lot of slabbed fakes appearing on the major auctions (I will not name them, but most people know what I'm talking about). These particular coin seems to be ok, but I would advice you NOT to trust NGC for authenticity of Russian Imperial coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 If it is authentic, I'd say $2500+ Assuming the coin is authentic, I predict $3,000-up in a real auction. On ebay, probably less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGC/PCGS has little or , sometimes, no experience in grading Russian coins of XVIII century. So, you can expect "surprises" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you are making reference to the coin linked in the first message, not the one in the slab linked further down the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
