Mike Shaver Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hey.. I somehow won # 101 and # 127. Paid too much. Had extra money from ebay sales. Overstruck 2 kopeks should not be so high priced. BUT if we are willing to pay high prices .. who's fault is it ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=230244726369 Hard to find them with an intact edge! eBay is no longer the bargain bag it use to be.

RARENUM Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I won Lot. 194 5 kopeks 1796, EM Brekke 18 (Very Rare), Bitkin 110 (R3). I hope it is real mixed edge type 5 and 6 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Alex, normally overstruck coins in that particular condition is quite uncommon, in particular with the edge intact. I swear if the image was slightly larger, you can read the mintmark as well as what year the original coin is. As well as, I don't quite remember that many overstruck 1760 2 kopeks, or rather, the most common 2 kopeks that I remember seeing are 1757-9. 1760 and 1761 can be tough I believe (Did I miss 1762?) That overall price I believe is justified - looks like overstruck coins are slowing gaining premium over the years. Worse for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Rarenum: Congrats! good luck, and can you post images, including the edge, when you get it? Mike: I saw this coin... I also like it. Beautifuly Ugly! Missed the because my 1 and 2 year old nieces are visiting and made me go outside to look at flowers! Its a rare variant. Would have gone even higher if it were an Alborg coin!
