nicholasz219 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi Guys, Were there any overstrikes of poluskas in 1731? I bought a polushka very cheaply that does appear to possibly have another design underneath the main obverse design. I apologize as my camera situation is still a mess. Any general information would be helpful. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholasz219 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Alex, I see that you have an overstruck coin with many of the old details remaining. So far, I have been able to find what looks to be one of the arms of the cross but I have not looked very hard at the coin yet. At least knowing what the under-coin should be will help me trace the lines to their original terminal points and hopefully find a date or lettering underneath the wreath.
