bobh Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have finally managed to get my first Imperial Russian gold - not hard years nor particularly special coins but I managed to get them at a reasonable price and am quite happy with them Congratulations! Which mintmaster initials are on the edge of these coins? For the 5 rouble coins, 1901-AP would be a good find (particularly in this good condition). I would weigh them, though -- there are some pretty good fakes out there. 5 roubles should weigh 4.3 grams, 10 roubles twice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mintmaster appears to be Felix Zaterman based on the O3 on the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesfil Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Apologies for not putting the correct symbol (don't know how) - just put O3 and hoped you allow for it. I will weigh them first chance I get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Don't worry, we know who he is That did remind me, I actually got myself a 1900 5 ruble coin a long time, didn't like it and sold it almost right away. Didn't regret it - never liked Nicholai 5 ruble gold coins - they are just way too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well I will just have to aim for bigger gold coins so I can get rid of these pesky small ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way to insert special characters is via the "Character Map" utility in Windows Accessories (there's also one in the Linux Ubuntu distribution which I was happy to discover ).
