bobh Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Here it is -- enjoy looking! 1781/0-EM Picked this one up for a very reasonable price in a "Buy it Now" auction on eBay. It wasn't advertised as an overdate, but fortunately there were good enough auction pictures to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted November 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Nice Thanks for sharing Bob Steve Thanks, Steve. BTW, are there any plans to do an RNS article about copper overdates, or have there been any published in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Thanks, Steve. BTW, are there any plans to do an RNS article about copper overdates, or have there been any published in the past? Hi Bob. I wasn't planning to write one any time soon (too many other articles on the pipeline). The Brekke/Bakken supplement has tables which are often quoted but they probably need updating with the new discoveries that are published in the JRNS as they appear. Personally I think it would be good for new tables or even a general overdating article However, RWJ is editor of the JRNS so he's a much better person to ask.

RW Julian Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi Bob. I wasn't planning to write one any time soon (too many other articles on the pipeline). The Brekke/Bakken supplement has tables which are often quoted but they probably need updating with the new discoveries that are published in the JRNS as they appear. Perosnally I think it would be good for new tables or even a general overdating article However, RWJ is editor of the JRNS so he's a much better person to ask. Steve There are no plans at present for such an article but I know that Tom Bakken is still planning a further update to the Brekke work on copper. Tom has been very thorough in listing overdates and I expect the next work, when published, will be as complete as possible In RNS Journal 70 (summer 2000) I did an article on the 5 kopecks of Ekaterinburg issued from 1763 to 1796 and listed all of the overdates known to me at that time. There are two main varieties of the 1781/0 overdate, for example, one on a 40mm planchet and the other on a 43mm planchet. (The EM mint was experimenting with different size planchets in the early 1780s to determine the best size for improved die life.)

I must have that back issue somewhere here at home. This coin has a diameter of 41 mm and weight of 45.4 g ... I suppose it would be the first variety, then?
