Severin describes variations of mintmarks being "close" or "apart", but provides no pictorial examples. 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

The mintmarks were usually punched in by hand and would vary slightly according

to the skill of the diesinker. In my opinion such variations are of little importance except

in a few cases.
