russia_coins Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 There are edge pictures of the 1839 and 1840 poltinas. Is it possible that the edge defects on the 1839 poltina are original ? The 1839 coin is on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I'm not sure what to make of this, but my overall impression is not favorable. I've seen edge inscriptions run off the coin but not like this. And why is the dot so much higher than the lettering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russia_coins Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yes, everything is strange on this edge... However on the second picture the 1840 poltina presents similar strange markings. Other opinions ? Has anybody seen this before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
