Hussulo Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi, I recently bought this coin. My questions on it are: A ) is it genuine (looks like it to me but I'm not knowledgeable on Russian coins) B ) What do you think the error is? It looks as if it may have been struck on a damaged planchet, with possible die cud/or damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 It is genuine but it looks like it has been a button or some sort - you can see the concentric ring in the middle and some solder leftover. A real shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real shame really. You could be right gx. I was so busy hoping it was an error, I overlooked the fact that it could have been soldered onto something. I guess I'll need to wait to take a closer look at it. If thats the case it is a shame as the Eagle side seems to have a nice detail on it. Thank you.
