BKB Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Can someone post photos of their 1838 kopek, or a photo they have for die comparison? I listed mine under the "goodies" topic. So far, the photos I find do not match this die pair... Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKB Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 my humble opinion -- the one sold by G &M in 2009 is a fake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 my humble opinion -- the one sold by G &M in 2009 is a fake... Is it because the two 8's don't match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 That. Plus the ugliness and the shape of the second "8" + general feel for good/bad coins. Plus the fact of the sale price, while "copper" dealers go to G&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 BKB: Your obverse looks like it matches another I know of that sold 15 years ago in the US. Brekke also had an 1838EM. I'll send images of both by email. Anybody else interested, send me a PM. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thank you Steve. Brekke did have one, but there is no photo in that catalog. Where did you get it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKB Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 You are right -- I guess I did not expect to find the image, that is why I missed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennysky Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I though I told you it was in Brekke.Now you know its not fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I did not see the photo in Brekke + Brekke coin is a bit different. It matches coin from WorldWide #26. It is not fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imaging that russians reading this post start digging more to get few for auctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
