alexbq2 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi All, Have been very busy at work, missed a lot of interesting topics! And yes, I did spot the Paul's polushka/denga right away I just received a coin, that I bought on eBay. It looked fake to me then but the seller was very interesting and had stated that this is "Russian copper coin KOPEIKA 1705.NOVODEL. See book "The copper coinage of Russia 1700-1917" Brekke and Bakken. page 107." I do not have that book, if you do please let me know if that's what I got.

This one is an obvious fake and is pictured there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Shaver Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 A known fake .. have one (I think) that would send to you for only the postage. I refuse to sell fakes, But will give away for educational purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thanks! I thought that it looked fake, but decided to get it based on the low price, and the seller had really interesting coins, I ended up buying 5 coins from him (including this one). I'll try to raise an issue with the seller. Maybe I should get Brekke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also get some auction catalogs, like: Brekke collection sale, Prokop collection, Haselgeser sales, Hoiland Russia I - IV. Finally, it is a good idea to get at least a Boston reprint of GM corpus plates. (the list goes on...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE MOULDING Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 This is getting expensive! I was hoping that the new Bitkin would cover Brekke. For a catalog of what's out there, yes, but Brekke comes with some nice articles and many more photos than Bitkin. I like the Diakov books too.

Currently I'm trying to get the 2008 Conros, and I wouldn't mind getting the new Usupov books. I have the old one, and it is still one of my favorites.
