Timewarp Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Just got this coin. Looks like overstrike to 1762. Are these common? (This one cost me 9 euro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Looks nice! Could you show the other side as well, please? Thank you Sigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewarp Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Here is other side. Not so much details visible on this side / scan. "old" horse head can be seen and legs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Nice coin! Note the ghost rider in the sky, the one of the late 4kop1762. This is in fact a 2kop1766Moscow Mint struck over a 4kop1762 (as all are). It is well worth the $9. Sigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewarp Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Thanks for info. Btw, I have following 2k in my collection. (I only collect one coin / type). Left side there are 2 stars. I wonder do these belong to this coin or is this overstrike too? Date is 1788, here is other side: http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/148/2k1788bfi0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 This one is also overstruck on 1762 4 Kopeck. It was overstruck at the St. Petersburg mint. Both are very nice examples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 spectacular coin, especially for an overstrike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 spectacular coin, especially for an overstrike I agree. That's a great coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Those are great coins considering how much you paid for. Ebay prices are absurd these days and people are willing to shell some 20-100+USD for a nice example. Thanks for showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
