IgorS Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I recently aquired this 1730 polushka. It is the first time I see the rider from Peter II kopek clearly preserved. Previous coin was stuck in the minting press and here is the result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous coin was stuck in the minting press and here is the result: Neat coin! I take it that the other side shows only traces of the cross (as usual), yes?

STEVE MOULDING Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Very nice Igor!! Here's a 1731 I sold a couple of months ago, though it doesn't show nearly as much undercoin as yours, this being a regular overstrike and yours being a much rarer error! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=110375268826 Just left of the 'P' you can see the riders upraised arm and the start of the spear.

IgorS Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Neat coin! I take it that the other side shows only traces of the cross (as usual), yes? In the picture I have the other side has no traces at all. Once I receive the coin I will check it for traces and report on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 What is more unusual is that the design of the 1730 polushka seems to be a die clash. Amazing - it doesn't get any better than this. Many thanks for your picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Steve I saw that coin, but my bid was too low Curiously, the same day as this thread was posted I picked up this coin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
