There is a VERY clear cyrillic "P" mintmark that has been removed from the die.. (former CPM die).

 

Look to the right of the "C"

Nice coin, Sigi!

Yes, Josh, I know, this is one of my prides. At today's prices I could not afford it any more. Elmen's (very nice, admitted) copper 5kop1760-- fetched $4050!

Just as a point of interest.. how much is a 1764 CM / CPM altered die 5 kopek worth. Can find no price... just a mention in Brekke. thanks

 

I've seen 6 of the 1764 CPM->CM coins. For example

 

Conros Monthly Auction (Nov 05), Lot 61, 190USD.

Lanz Auction 124 (May 05), Lot 120, 130EUR

Ekaterina 49 (Mar 08), Lot 128, 125USD

Woops .. price .. I have two .. mike

The 1997 Brekke supplement lists this over-mintmark on p. 92 as "Brekke No. 203A". Rarity is given as "./" (i.e. very rare, R3 in some references). However, none of the price lists from 1977/87/97 list that particular number.

 

If you have two of them, I wonder just how rare it can be?

Ummm....that's different. That's a CM (formerly CPM) where the C is now over where the P used to be (traces of P can be seen under the C). That's rare.

We're talking about the buffed out P, with the C still far to the left, like Sigi's. Much more common.

See Supplement P56.

In fact I don't see any B203A in my archives.
