gxseries Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 What kind of grade would you give this Russian 1857 poltina ruble? It does seem to have quite a fair bit of scratches and unfortunately one sharp jab at the right side of the double headed eagle's wing - god lord it didn't damage the wing or I would have been very upset. Least, most of the details are intact suprisingly so I decided to call it mishandling. Nevertheless, this coin seems to have some interesting prooflike field... which I tried to take with my digital camera. Resolution isn't that great but it does show the reflection quite well...

Art Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Certainly looks proof-like in the video. Could just be an early strike. It's one of those areas where you'd have to know the coin to make a decent judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowtracks Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I have NO clue...but it does appear to be UNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'd call it a net EF. Since it's not in front of me, I'm not going to comment on wear, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
