Bluesfil Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Thanks for that Grivna - just adding the last few. It was a good day, all cheap and I will attend to those that are showing verdigris when I get the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timofei Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Denezhka 1855 BM - is a scarce coin, valued by Ilyin at 1 rouble and the coin is in a good shape. If that came cheap too - congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesfil Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 The majority of the coins I paid 3, 4 or 5 dollars Australian - the 1855 was 14 dollars, while the 1925 and 26 50 Kopeks were 14 dollars. Given that I have a very limited access to Russian coins locally, I buy what I like to study the coins and become familiar the features of different types. Getting hold of the two catalogues from Thomas Hoiland's Russia 1 and 2 has made a huge difference and truly blown me away with the amount of overstruck issues. Given that my main area of collecting up to now has been Australian errors and varieties plus pre decimals - this is complementary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Bluesfil, congradulations. The 2 kopek seems to be of 1757 2 kopeks (upper denomination - which I found it harder to obtain) overtruck most probably on 1755 SPB 1k. Damn lucky I guess Funny enough, I was in Canberra a few days ago and there weren't any decent Russian coins with the dealers there. I just assumed that you got the best haul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesfil Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I mainly pick them up through two dealers who don't have shops - they do the Coin shows and Fairs. One coin I did spot that I am going to buy if he still has it next month was a 1913 Finnish 20 Marka in gold. Lovely coin in EF. There was a bit of Russian gold there but both dealers said that in the last 6 months the demand for Russian gold has been extremely strong and as soon as they put it out on display it gets snapped up. Next time you are in Canberra or are coming down, drop me a line if you want and we can meet for a coffee or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesfil Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Went to the Fair again on 1July but the pickin's were lean - most of the dealers stock had been snapped up by one collector in Melbourne But I did pick up a few more 1897 50 Kopek star Y58.1 Obv Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesfil Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 1767 Five Kopeck from above - lightly cleaned to protect the coin - had some verdigris starting in the cross hatching of the rim. The large amount of grime and what appeared to be rust of some type lifted easily Quite a nice coin - probably grade around fine Obv Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
