sigistenz Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 As it is very quiet in the forum I'll break the silence with my new acquisition from Elmen. It could be nicer but it's good enough for me at the low price of $200. BTW I can furnish prices realized for any of the items, Sigi Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorS Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I agree, it is very tough to find these in nice condition. I bought this one from Elmen privately about 3 years ago. I have not seen better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-kuna Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 very attractive, yellow (rare) and I guess was more than two hundred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 If it was not over $1,000, it was a steal... (IMXO) I am lucky I do not care about this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve D'Ippolito Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Back in the day I just wanted an example of each pairing shown in Uzdenikov. It's tricky with the 5 kopek pieces because there are five obverse designs and four reverse, and they mostly come in matched pairs but there are a couple of mule issues too. Anyhow I finally brought some order to that chaos and was able to get one of each of the seven pairings. (The other denominations were easy enough to understand... one from EM and one from KM and you are done, except for the polushka which had a funky lopsided eagle pairing as well. Well it was easy to _understand_ but I never came close to having the other denominations completed. I never found a Kopek. As challenging as the 5 kopek pieces are, the polushka - 2 kopeks are much, much more difficult!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
