gxseries Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm pretty sure that I got a copper coin that is similar to Uzdenikov Type II A/a, which corresponds to 1718-1721, a nice short 4 years. Can't identify the year yet but I'm sure it's one of those four years, likely to be 1718 or 1719. Yes it is from the lot of super worn Russian coins - don't even know how I managed to identify some of them. Most of them don't seem common regardless with or without mintmarks. I haven't seen any coins from this era, or rather this is the first time I have obtained any polushkas of Peter I. Anyone with any great examples especially ones with mintmark? Thanks in advance.

squirrel Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 heres my little collection of 1720-21 polushka... 1720 cyrillic date has a barely legible mint mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 gx, here is a compare in size with some other peter I copper. earlier polushka is 1706, denga is 1704, and kopeck is 1708. look closely at the kopeck, and you will see it is actually an overdate, 1708/7!

gxseries Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Wow nice ones! Thanks for showing! The kopek is pretty neat. Got to hunt down if mine has a mintmark or not. I think mine is a 1719 - photos to come out soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 sorry, a bit too tough for my eyes... hard to read a date, BUT i think i see a "1" where the last digit would be..., so 1721 is my guess. also, check out the date on the 1721 polushka i posted ((#5 to the right) notice anything different?

gxseries Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 squirrel, I'm getting pretty certain that it's a 1719 as there is a "O" with a line across it and then a "I" after it. Looks like I'll have to get some close up photos I'm hoping to get another table lamp... And yes, I did notice the funky reversed 7 which I thought is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 i can see the cyrillic 9 now... i think... and that "1" would be the "I"..... any luck with the other ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 squirrel, many thanks. I am very certain that it's the common variety 1719 polushka, thanks to your photo. I do seem to see the letter D under the right side claw. Would have been too exciting if it's the scarce one but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
