gxseries Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Timofei, very interesting. Thanks for showing. My first instinct is that it can't be possibly an original but more likely a novodel because of it's feature. The first thing that bothered me is actually not the quality of the coin but the font and the location of the font. For example the following (pictures are from Tane - thanks in advance) And this is my example: Sorry but I don't have any ultra high quality coins to even talk about So far none of the letter "O" of the word kopek is centered in the middle of the cross. More examples will be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Here is the coin in question (no pictures of rim available). Fake? Novodel? I'm not a copper specialist, but I believe the style is too refined for an original, so it is either a forgery or a novodel. It looks like it was made with a steam or hydraulic press, so my guess is that it is a novodel and that it was probably made in the mid-19th century.
