RW Julian 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Coming up on March 1 (auction 41 has the Russian coins): GERMAN: Auction 41 ENGLISH: Auction 41 Many interesting Russian lots! Thanks for the notice. I looked at the lots and there are some interesting coins. However, I have some problems with lot 3264, the Peter III ducat. I am unable to match the bust hub or reverse die with any pieces in my database. RWJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RWJ I agree, lot 3264 porter and eagle looks funny (not original). Did you review the lot 3214 Ruble of Peter II, I believe I saw the same coin before and I think it is questionable authenticity of the coin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at lot 3214 but do not have an opinion. Perhaps there is someone else who knows this area well enough to comment. RWJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RARENUM 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I have problem with 3214 and 3217 I agree with IgorS above lot 3217, from the same "mint" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldman 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I have problem with 3214 and 3217 Agreed, lot 3214 looks very familiar. I believe , not long ago, we all saw this portrait on EBay... As to the lot 3217....They always look "scary"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gxseries 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Makes me wonder why Peter II rubles are so heavily targeted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As to the lot 3217....They always look "scary"... The description of lot 3214 in the printed catalog says "Unedierte Variante" (i.e.: "unpublished variety") I find it interesting that among all the references for these coins, Bitkin and Uzdenikov are never mentioned. I wonder why?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gxseries 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Uzdenikov's catalogue I admit is pretty limited when it comes down to varieties but I am suprised that it's not used. Now I should get a Bitkin and keep myself quiet for a LONG time. I am terribly embrassed that I only have a Uzdenikov The other catalogues are just relatively hard to find.

bobh 0 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I can get the German section to work, but the English ist verboten fur me. Yes, I later realized that they only have the main access page translated. As soon as one clicks on "online catalog", everything afterwards is in German again. (helpful tip: Russia = "Russland" ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobh 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Prices realized have been posted at the WAG website in the meantime. Interestingly enough, 3214 and 3264 were withdrawn (I presume that's what the "Z" means, i.e. "zurückgezogen"). Lot 3217 is marked with "F" (probably "Fälschung", or counterfeit?) On the whole, prices look not so crazy as in other recent auctions. Most expensive Russian coin sold there, I believe, was a Gangut rouble (lot no. 3439) which went for EUR 10,000 (+ 15% + VAT + shipping + insurance, of course).
