Can someone describe the difference, at lease for a St. Petersburg mint ruble? thanks! There is a site where all denominations and dates are shown. Mostly only one piece each. Hit the link, compare your piece there, maybe you can find the answer that way. Sigi http://www.numismat.ru/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion such variations are of little importance except in a few cases. RWJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
