grivna1726 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hey GrivnaDo you know the best way to get something written in permeate marker off. Somebody at work used a permanent marker on a whiteboard once and people were trying to rub in off to no avail. Then somebody else showed me a trick. You write over the permeate marker writing with a normal whiteboard marker then when you wipe it the writing comes off (you could probably dab it off with cotton wool). Not saying you should try this on a coin but it definitely works. Thank you for the suggestion, but I doubt this ink is of similar chemical composition to the stuff that is in permanent markers. I have toyed with the idea of trying to remove it chemically (acetone?), but I think that even if that was successful, I would probably be left with an untoned area (where the ink used to be) and that would not be an improvement. So I have left it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Japanese? Link please - I might be able to translate It was a multiple-coin lot (advertised as 8 coins, but actually there were 9). Only the 1902 50 kopeek coin was pictured in the auction catalog. And since I didn't win the lot, I can't supply my own pictures, either. You can find the auction catalog on the http://www.sixbid.com website (Hess-Divo, Auction 306, lot 499). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thank you Bobh and Grivna1729 for the explanation about the markings by some collectors and thank you Bob for the Uzdenikov reference. I guess it's equivalent to some "Ex Libris" stamps on rare books. Here is something on the obverse that also appears to be some sort of stamp (?) that someone has tried to erase. http://cgi.ebay.com/1872-RUSSIA-SILVER-ROU...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe you can get it cheaply??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have left it alone. Try using vodka, or the stuff that ladies use to take of the nail varnish (acetone), AFTER YOU SOAK THE COIN IN SOAP FOR A WEEK. Dont you people know how to treat coins without ruining them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldman Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Maybe because the authenticity of the coin is in dispute? Interesting enough that when I contacted the seller directly via EBay, he was very polite and cooperative . After brief email exchange I was able to convience him that the coin listed was of a questionable origin. Has anyone dealt with the guy before ?
