alexbq2 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I would not buy it because condition is not so good The price is good! I’m guessing that ScottO is just beginning his Russian coin collection. I think it makes perfect sense to explore the subject by handling circulated coins. It’s much more fun than staring at the pictures in the catalogue! I remember the first time I saw an 1832 1 kopeek (Masonic eagle). It was corroded and had a bit of the green stuff on it, but it totally blew my mind (I’ve not seen that type of eagle before). I recently got this one - http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/962785.jpg and I was also excited (because it’s pretty). So here’s to ScottO’s new coin!

I am all in favor of encouraging new Russian coin collectors! Just be careful, it can become addictive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grivna1726 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 its not my first, i have a few 19th century pieces... but its my first older styple 1 kopeck (i have a 1899 1 kopeck) i love those designs I remember the first Russian coin I ever bought, a common Nicholas I rouble in dipped EF. It's not so exciting now and I've seen many nicer ones since then, but that was the piece that got me hooked on Russian coins. So enjoy it, ScottO, and read and learn more about the series. Find your own way and do not be put off by the tastes and attitudes of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
