Thanks for sharing, Steve! Will you or anyone else you know be able to look at the lots in person? Too bad that so many lots don't have pictures.

STEVE MOULDING Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've asked them to add any images to the website that they possibly can, even at this last minute. I won't be able to go. It's in Virginia and is just too late for me to get down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We posted more pictures today and we can gladly take individual pictures by request. Those requests should go to David.Quinn@quinnsauction.com. Thanks again and let me know if you have additional requests -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have never participated in an auction without being there - is there a way to bid online or something for this one? Or is it too late? I'm really unfamiliar with the process.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 There's a 1896 Coronation Rouble there... with an estimate of $50-80 The value as far as I know should be significantly higher... Think many Russian coin collectors will be there? If not, I'm definitely thinking of going after that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think many Russian coin collectors will be there? If not, I'm definitely thinking of going after that one... Go for it. I don't think many russian coin collectors will know about this auction (I could be wrong). Personally, I've never heard of them. They wrote to me yesterday asking me to let RNS members know about it, probably after tracking me down on google. So that's probably good for your chances. On the other hand they might not know a fake if they saw one, so bid with care (as always). Best, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 On the other hand they might not know a fake if they saw one, so bid with care (as always). I think you might be right. A listing for a 1715 rouble (!!!) caught my attention last evening. It looked more like a 1720 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candidate Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 It took my breath when I saw this: "3 Russian Silver Coins: Nicholas I, 50 Kopecks, Poltina: 1838, 1839, 1840. ... ESTIMATE: $100 - $150" ... but there is no magic in our life; of course, they just confused Russian-Polish 30 kopek / 2 zloty with poltina... http://auctions.quinnsauction.com/asp/full...;refno=+++15315 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 You guys think there's a chance it could have fakes there? I registered to bid tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 You guys think there's a chance it could have fakes there? There's always that chance, but I think it becomes more likely when a seller is dealing in material with which he/she is unfamiliar. The misattribution of various pieces in this sale suggests that whomever did the cataloging does not know very much about Imperial Russian coins. That might mean increased risks and/or opportunities for the buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prekol Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thank you for the heads up. Shame looking through the photos so many coins have rust from the staples in the holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 That Anna 1733 Poltina looks like a good candidate for my "ugly poltina" collection, but sadly the coin is plugged. plus im being frugal these days btw thank you for posting the link, Steve!

Besides the fact that Jim Elmen's mail-bid auction ends tomorrow ... if the other auction were a couple of day later, I might be tempted. But I am bidding a fair amount of money in WWC, so will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks alot for the link got a few lots of that auction, so now just have to wait and see the actual coins. I was bargain bidding, and came in second on almost every lot I targeted. I think I won a single lot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I thought the best lot was Lot 85 - it had a 1767 MMD Rouble of Catherine II with "coarsly" portrait. Those are quite scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Are we suppose to be notified if we won? Has anyone been notified yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have not noticed myself, but I was told that the last lot (do not remember the number) described as "coins and medals" had a Gangut rouble in it. The lot was sold for $280. If the Gangut is real - now that's a bargain Did someone here get it? Share the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
