bobh Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I won the 1899-AG for €70 and the 1911 for €90. The 1899-AG is only XF (at best, and with small rim dings), and although problem-free and nicely toned, I probably overpaid for it (estimate was €75, so I was the only bidder on that one). But the 1911 is GORGEOUS ... ... it took my breath away when I opened the little paper envelope! So I thought you might like to see these: 1899-АГ (St. Petersburg mint) (Auction 150, lot 3405): Link to Künker images of this coin 1911-ЭБ (St. Petersburg mint) (Auction 150, lot 3411): Link to Künker images of this coin All in all, I am very happy with my purchases!

Scottishmoney Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nice coins Bobh, sometimes I wisht I had not let my Russian collection years ago. Especially when I see the prices for nicer 7.5 and 15 ruble coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Very nice Bob! Thanks for showing. Thanks, Steve! Did you tell your wife yet? Yes ... also 'fessed up about the 1908 poltina I am going to Munich to fetch next week (...but only after I also told her that I sold some of my Peruvian Libra and Swiss Vreneli gold coins to cover it...)! We're OK now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
