bobh Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Amazing selection of Russian coins here! Just about something for everyone ... copper, silver, gold ... early platinum seems to be missing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice coins, finally saw a 1724 kopek but all prices are just high as usual. Selling off all the junks that I lost interest or duplicates so that I can free up a bit of cash and try some other world coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 nice 1800 em polushka. What do you think? At least $2,000... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Amazing selection of Russian coins here! Just about something for everyone ... copper, silver, gold ... early platinum seems to be missing, though. Your link points at russian lots starting with #6501. However there are tons of nice russian coins in this range: 5630-5694 Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic gold Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 nice 1800 em polushka. What do you think? At least $2,000... I wonder the same thing. I also wonder if this specimen is already included in Mr. Mouldings investigations. Here´s another one (mine), that certainly isn´t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic gold Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 And as often happens, the two images have to be sent separately. I am sorry to add that at the moment I have no possibility to high resolution photos, in case someone became interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic gold Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Only by this third entry I remembered why I posted those photographs. It is interesting to note that while the number of surviving polushki 1800 EM is very low yet the two coins are different: the Kûnker specimen has a clear overdate and mine doesn´t. Comparison to the other specimens may reveal even more different specimens. This occurs one bit surprising compared to the huge emissions of the 2 kopecks, which show relatively low number of variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yours is also an overdate, which is quiet obvious from the photos -- clear remnants of "7" under "8". Hard to see because of the corrosion. So far, I only know these as overdates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I also wonder if this specimen is already included in Mr. Mouldings investigations. Here´s another one (mine), that certainly isn´t: No, the Kunker coin is new to me, as is yours...thanks for showing! . I agree with my learned friend BKB, yours is an overdate, as are all of the 12 others that I know about. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic gold Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 With closer examination BKB has it right and there indeed are tiny rests of metal indicating a "7" under the "8", but corrosion also took its toll as under the two last digits there is nothing. How about the small point ПОЛУ.ШКА, purely incidental? I shall shortly return to a subject closely related to this one, but I better open a new thread as we no longer discuss Künker 186.

PeterShell Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Lot 7092 looks weird Hmm.. for me also..something is wrong with the eagle ..looks like made in kindergarten.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 : How about the small point ПОЛУ.ШКА, purely incidental? : I see the beginnings of a spot in the same place on one other example. Yours has the spot plus some extra deterioration, indicating perhaps a die near the end of its life. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RW Julian Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Lot 7092 looks weird Uneven toning and a weak obverse strike. Perhaps it was stored around paper containing sulfur or some other chemical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altyn Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Uneven toning and a weak obverse strike. Perhaps it was stored around paper containing sulfur or some other chemical. Here is a comparison of the Kuenker coin (top) and a genuine coin from www.m-dv.ru 25 Kop 1893 There are numerous differences on both sides, including the overall appearance and details of the portrait, the shape and thickness of the letters and the digits on the eagle side, and the size of the cross above the crown.

Candidate Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Uneven toning and a weak obverse strike. Perhaps it was stored around paper containing sulfur or some other chemical. This is a cheap contemporary fake, not even a copy. It resembles original coin very approximately, and sells at Molotok (Russian internet auction) at approx. $10.

Note the surprised look on the eagle. It looks like the "artist" depicted the eagle with the eyebrows raised too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm curious if anyone had seen Lot number: 7304 (Extensive collection of Russian copper, 401 pieces). Anything really interesting in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgnumI Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi guys! What do you think about 6700 ??? I have my doubts that it's cipher series. Isn't it rather weak Paul's recoining one? Otherway, judging from the price, it was bought as cipher coin ... regards Oleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
