gxseries Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 It's 1762 10 kopek - original host coin may have been 1757-1762 5 kopek Wouldn't say it's "rare". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corwin Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Eagle side: Picture is also a little out of focus. I am still learning on how to make good pictures of the coins. Details are a little more visible on this picture taken with blitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Photo is a lot better. You should be able to take a reasonably good photo with a 5mp camera. Doesnt' have to be one of those new 12+mp camera. All you need is decent lighting and steady hands. Use the macro function on your camera. Most cameras should have them - it's shown as a flower. If you have shaky hands, you can use a mini tripod. It should be really cheap these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I like it! very nice ugly copper coin! and I mean ugly in a good way, because overstruck coins have so much wonderful character, no two alike! congrats, not easy to find these days in any condition.
