sigistenz Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 In a recent thread bobh and squirrel observed how difficult it must have been to have the 2 animals pose and hold the shield at the same time. This is only too true. Proof is a series of early trials found in the holdings of the Nutbush, TN museum house (not mentioned by Tina Turner). With their kind permission I may show you one of the numerous trials below. Sigi Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link handy for this museum? I wonder how a museum in a small town in Tennessee came to hold a Russian coin collection, much less a series of rare patterns?

squirrel Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Great trial coin, Sigi! I was in Tennessee a few years ago. I must have missed the museum. I did go to Dollywood, however. My brother in law still lives there. I will have to go back to see these trials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
