bobh Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 This rouble looks original - http://cgi.ebay.com/RUSSIA-1771-ROUBLE-XF_...1QQcmdZViewItem , but check out the mintmaster. This mintmaster only started in 1773. The last "1" in the date looks like it has been altered -- quite crudely, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaE Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Good catch, it looks like an original coin after all 1774 Rouble with altered "4". Not sure why would anyone alter the year, maybe they wanted it to look more rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever did it must not know ANYTHING about coins, otherwise they would have left well enough alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Someone is in for a narsty surprise. As I write this, the coin is bid up to $430.00 and there is still 1 day & 11 hours to go on this auction. No doubt this "XF" (!!), altered date dog will be driven even higher with the usual sniping.
