bobh Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Here's what might be one of the original strikes: Gangut rouble, 1914 Neither side of the coin looks like it could have been struck from proof dies. The different "novodel" strikes, according to the reference by V.V. Kazakov, always have either the obverse or the reverse as proof (and presumably, sometimes both). Since the restrikes were also done some time after the revolution, it is highly unlikely that any of them would have seen this much circulation, IMHO. I have saved the images to my computer for further reference. Looks authentic as to the design. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
