grivna1726 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 1763CM Interesting that the reverse looks so clean compared to obverse. I'm not sure how something like that happens. A tentative thought that comes to mind is that the devices on the undertype might have been in higher relief on one side than the other, but I doubt that is the answer.

Not as clean as I thought...I just noticed a lovely overstruck 'mini-crown' on the main reverse crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not mine (I don't think). It is indeed a picture from an accumulated archive of photos but that archive is certainly not on the web. Hundreds of thousands of Russian coin images that I've patiently collected over many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Those are VERY good examples - only wished they are that excellent Speaking of which Steve, from these three images, how many 1763 CM 5 kopek were these out of? I'm curious about the statistics figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about the statistics figure. I have about 65 1763CM images. BUT...before we start thinking about 3 out of 65 as a ratio, I pulled these 3 examples out as immediately obvious. I haven't been through the other 62 very carefully. There may be more I guess is the point. Of course if anybody wants to go through them all....
