Scottishmoney Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The kopek of Pavel is the only one that doesn't raise red flags - I don't know enough about them to ascertain with that one. The others are very suspicious. I really do NOT like the other two coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 In my opinion the Siberian 2k is an original coin, double struck. I would say apealing to the folks that collect errors and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 2 kop is very interesting. Never had a double struck Siberian. Cannot see why it could not exist -- whole bunch of double struck 5 kop of the period... I see no problem on the photo. Ruble is cleaned, but probably original. 1 kop has that nasty green stuff on it. All in all, interesting lot. I would not buy it for that price, but do not want to offend GX with my explanation why.

gxseries Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nah don't worry about it BKB. Not a lot that I would be willing to pay that much money either although I guess that's what it goes these days. I reckon it was the ruble that hiked up the price - never seen one of those wings down ruble going any less than 100USD even in awful condition. I guess it's silly market condition these days.

SOMMER Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 thank you for all your answers, i asked you partcularly concerning the siberian coin, i never seen or have read it about a double struck on siberian coin,i m luccky for his coin.I m conscient of the grade of other coins, the face with eagle is really in good grade although this coin was cleaned, but the other is poor (vf- ,i think), you see prices of roubles 1831 wings down on the net are important again, whether the market is falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think such errors are possible, no reason why there can't be any double struck Siberian coins. So something like this is completely possible although not commonly seen: Sometimes it seems to me that some Russian error coins can be obtained for a bargain - it just doesn't seem to be too "hot". Not too sure if others agree me with on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure if others agree me with on that. There are quite a few errors available actually, which can explain some of the price part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 i think Russian coinage of the period was produced under a bit less "quality control" shall we say, than those of other governments. Just look at all of the wonderfull overstrikes! what other country so effeciently revised the value of copper over the course of 100 years, no less than 6 times, without going to the trouble of melting down the old ones?

BKB Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 UPDATE!!!! Saw a WONDERFUL Siberian 10 kop today. Huge! Doublestruck! Very original and beautiful! Steve will confirm. Too bad I do not collect Siberian copper... Thus, doublestruck Siberians do exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you did not want to buy Russian coins anymore... Where would I get that idea? Someone must have told me... Ahh I remember. It was you saying that to me like 20 times today!!!

Bill Snyder Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Confirmed! It was very nice. Too bad I'd spent all my money already I just had to show this 10K doublestrike. Not beautiful, but, until now, it was the only one I knew of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
