Tomten Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hey there. I'm quite new with collecting coins so my knowledge about error coins isn't quite a lot really. I've found what I think is a russian error coin, supposed to be a 1,2,3- kopek, can't tell which one it was meant to be.. Both sides of the coin is quite identicaly, but one side protrudes while the other is saggy. I haven't found any information about any coin like this and I've tried emailing people/sites but haven't got any proper answers, so I'm trying this forum. Here's pictures. http://img88.imageshack.us/i/rysk.jpg/ http://img607.imageshack.us/i/rysk1.jpg/ http://img155.imageshack.us/i/rysk2.jpg/ http://img602.imageshack.us/i/rysk3.jpg/ Anyone seen anything like it or has any information at all about it? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 It's a brockage - congradulations! Quite suprised that it circulated for a while. The denomination should be easy - what is the diameter and weight of the coin? Seems like a two or three kopek coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 This looks like a nice circulated full brockage. Looks genuine to me. Nice find! Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomten Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Full brockage is what it's called? Full mirror brockage, correct? Anyone got any clue of what its worth or if there is any special interest in these types of coins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomten Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 3.8cm (1.5 inches), and since I don't have any good equiment for weighing.. I'm guessing with my kitchenscale that it's roughly 300grams.. I'll see if I can find any better scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
