gxseries Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just posting some coins that I have won this year that are considerably tougher and worthwhile mentioning. Nice to sum up the hauls that I caught this year as Russian coin prices are still quite high. Of course, some may think these are low grade and not worthy in their collection. Spitzbergen 1946 50 kopek 1799 10 kopek This made me finish my silver collection of Paul I. 1741 denga 1827 10 kopek I don't have photos for the rest of them or I need to take better photos soon: 1771 Sadagura pattern coin 1795 MM 2k over 1773 2para - 3 dengi 1999 MMD 2 ruble 1762 ruble (Peter III) 1762 10 kopek 1762 2 kopek (Peter III) I think that should be it for now?

Saor Alba Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 First USSR coins I have bought in while. I also have now Chervonetz of 1979, but not imaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have already shown many of my "catches" from this year in the previous posts. And they are on Omnicoin. I will show a coin that surprised me. It is a scarce coin, and the condition is not bad for this type, I will not say that this is my catch of the year though. What surprised me is that for some strange reason it has become the most popular coin of my collection on Omnicoin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I think this is my nicest catch of this year - Sigi Uploaded with ImageShack.us That's just pretty! The 1788 KM type eagle is IMHO the best looking bird on Russian coins.IMHO even nicer than the Dassier eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 My catch of the year did not get to me yet. I will post photos as soon as I get it, but, I think it will not happen until next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 No question in my mind that these are my favorites for the year: 50 kopecks, 1909 (ex Gorny & Mosch, lot 3335 of auction 182-188 in March, 2010): 5 Roubles, 1909 (ex Hess-Divo auction from last October): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcissism or not, I do admire your cherry picked Nicholases, almost as much as your ability to photograph them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Nothing rare or exceptional, but I did manage a few additions. It's hard to add to your collection when most of the year is spent unemployed! Anyway, I don't collect pre-Revolution. I do collect coins with phsyicists, astronomers, and related themes, though, and this ruble of 1987 scratched both itches: Makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 If it makes you happy, that is all that counts. I used to collect these back in Russia. I still have a few commems laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grivna1726 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 No one understands or cares about this "silly" kopeck here... Don't be so certain. The coin was considered rare in the Grand Duke's day and I doubt it has become more common with the passage of time. Congratulations on your acquisition. Was it a private sale or an auction coin?
