IgorS Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 It seems to me that Russia I and Russia II had more fun coins ( at least in my area of interest). What do you guys think? Does not look like they saved the best for last (except for a handful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not look like they saved the best for last (except for a handful) I agree. But it was one collection split in 3. By the way, Igor, weren't it you who mailed me a few years ago about removing verdigris in hot olive oil? How hot and how long would it need to be? Thank you, Sigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Sigi Even if it was me (do not recall right now), I know about it only theoretically. Never tried it (or any other method) myself.

STEVE MOULDING Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Enjoy, Sigihttp://www.hoiland-stamps.dk/default.aspx?...mp;a=EVT/100056 Well, that's over with now! I bid on about 40 coins...I won only 2! The 1796 Cipher 10K went for $40,000 (including fees). A 1764 EM Denga (very rare) went for $59,000 (with fees). Those weren't the 2 I won, before you ask I did get the 1789KM Polushka, long missing from my collection. Anybody else land anything?

mummytrol Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Enjoy, Sigihttp://www.hoiland-stamps.dk/default.aspx?...mp;a=EVT/100056 Great coins. Thank you. But, I have 1 question. "How 4 coins With the same description could be rated R2 and R3" - Pattern made in copper (9.50g) with smooth edge by the Mint in Brussel - As I understand "rare" meens that you cannot see these coin in such a quantity.

Basilio Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 take there some coins - but 'the best one's' - fly too high.. bid Denga 1764 - and loose.. Bid polushka 1858 - extrenmely rare and never described at all - and also didnt win... Denga 1765 at my mind - is a fake... struked on denga dated 1768 - not on the @drum@ kopek... Strong collection.. And madness in prices... 10 kopekc"s 1796 - 8 rouble in Il'in's catalog - cost 40 th. 1 rouble 1762 with Peter III - without any price - more than 100 000 - where is a true ?

BKB Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I bid on about 30 coins including 1811 denga and some books. I won only 3 coins. I bid $30,000 for 1811 denga, and I thought that was a strong bid. Guess not. In most instances I was grossly overbid, which shows that I am way behind the "market" nowdays. However, I am only interested in rare stuff (3 rbl and higher), and there are people with a lot more money who want the same. So, the result -- I won 2 novodels of 1830 spb and a Girei polushka. Do not know what is wrong with that polushka, but I got it for next to nothing... With the same rarity as Ischal (r3), it went for $17,000 less than the Ischal sold at the same sale. I guess my collection will have to sit a few of these out until I start making more money. Ortherwise, my priorities will have to change so that I will spend more on coins and less on my son, which is highly unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one do you think is a fake? I bought only 1 kop and 5 kop. These are duplicates, so I would be able to compare them against the coins in my collection. As to akche, I am not a great specialis on Crimean coins. When it arives I will check it against the plates in both volumes of Retowski book (i am lucky to have an original ) and weigh it. I will report the results here as soon as I get them. I guess if it is not polushka, I should be able to return it. But, for $300 I might as well keep it.
