alexbq2 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 It seems that most authors do not list varieties for this coin. Usoupov lists 2, with smaller and larger mintmaster's initials - IK. Which one is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Interesting die clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks Gxseries! I saw that too, I’ve seen a number of clashes on the Ekaterinburg coinage of that period. I’ve tried to find images of 1830 2 kopeek EM to compare this coin to. So far nothing. Iliyn ranks the less common variety at 3 roubles and the more common at 1 rouble. I haven’t found images of either yet. If anyone has one in their records, please post it here. Interestingly enough, I searched for sale records on the coinstat site, and there was only 1 recorded sale of a 2 kopeek1830 EM IK in 6 years! http://tsovin.ru/coins/?nom=2+%EA%EE%EF&am...=2008&auc=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at this point though I'd say 1830EM looks rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at this point though I'd say 1830EM looks rare. Very surprising, as Bitkin gives it a single R, Iliyn/Usoupov a dot in the case of the smaller mintmaster, Uzdenikov does not give it anything, Brekke gives it a dot. By all accounts this should be a marginally scarce coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Found 1 image of this coin! Looks like the mintmaster characters are the same size, but the mintmarks look a bit larger on my coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 It seems that most authors do not list varieties for this coin. Usoupov lists 2, with smaller and larger mintmaster's initials - IK. Which one is this? Shown is the Aalborg specimen, sold in Copenhagen in RUSSIA IV at abt $130. The Brekke coin cannot be viewed as it was included in lot # 1673 together with 3 other coins, no picture. That lot fetched $100 in 1994. The only other picture I found is the Grand Duke Michailovich piece which see here. Sigi By sigistenz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did figure out that this and some other coins I picked up on eBay are the remnants of the Aalborg collection. I don't know why they ended up on eBay, but they were auctioned off by Tomas Hoiland. I guess the original buyers refused them, not sure why they did not go to the underbidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
