grivna1726 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I have submitted my "best offer" for substantially less than $73,000. I cant wait for the reply. The seller wants that much money for it, but says 1700s Heavy Russian Copper Bullion Up for auction is a heavy Russian copper Russian plate money bullion with double-headed eagle emblems and date 1726, 1/4" thick, 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 We have no other information on this item, as this is not our forte. We are reaching out to the numismatic community for help in identifying it. He has no idea what he's selling (or so he claims), yet somehow thinks it's worth $73,300.00. Uh-huh. Sure. I believe that. Just like I believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Actually I want to find a cheap fake Russian plate sometime to play with. There is some eBay seller who sells only fakes ... "copymania", perhaps? He usually lists some plates along with a few beard tokens and lots of "patterns". Strange, but I haven't seen him offer a fake Sestroretsk rouble yet ... would probably cost too much to ship, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grivna1726 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good price, but did you see the shipping? Good point. The $73,300 seller, on the other hand, is offering FREE SHIPPING!! Now where did I put my wallet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good price, but did you see the shipping? Hey, c'mon, you know there ain't no such thing as a free grivna (... ehm, lunch, that is)! I didn't see the shipping, and now the auction appears to have been prematurely ended. Aw, shucks ... I was going to bid on that one myself!

BTW, this "grivna" is the exceedingly rare plate kopek. It would certainly be worth more than 99 cents (if only it was real). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 You definitely have been in Europe too long when you talk about marzipan in a cake If only it was that easy to buy in America. I can remember whole meals of marzipan and Schnapps in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, it does sound more appealing than the Online Fleamarket offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not in the great big quantities like in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I was going to reveal my ignorance by asking what marzipan is, but decided to do a search instead. Sort of like Nutella, I guess. Actually, Nutella is made from hazelnuts and chocolate (??) whereas marzipan has no chocolate in it. However, one of my favorite treats is the chocolate-covered marzipan goody known as "Lübecker Marzipan" (and is made in Lübeck, Germany of all places)! Marzipan by itself is white, unless some food coloring has been used to make it a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
