oregoncoin Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks for selling me this, Mike! Alexander II coronation medal in old (original?) box (+the Patagonia winter 2010 catalog. I can't be the only collector who brings their Russian coins into the backcountry, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oregoncoin Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Is he immortal? No, Alex, I think you mean Kenny. lol Thanks, guys. I've seen many examples of this type. The type seems to be common, but I think it's uncommon for them to look so nice. I can't recall seeing a nice copper / bronze example. I saw a perfect gold example a long time ago (it sold for about 1.5x gold value, when gold was $350/oz - I weep), and a couple gorgeous silver examples (before their colorful toning was appreciated - weep2x), but the copper / bronze ones I've seen have always had various problems. You can see why not many of the old cases survive. Even with careful treatment over the years, the thing is showing some serious wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
