bagerap Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I mainly collect medals & exonumia, but I can read a certain amount of Russian. I saw this coin advertised as an unknown token with a terrible picture and took a chance. I expect it to be fake, and in hand it looks very odd. 3.7 gr, 20 mm milled edge ////////// Your views are appreciated. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopeikin Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is authentic Russian Polushka (1/4 kopeck) coin in average poor condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thank you, I'm pleasantly surprised. Cost less than $5.00, so not much to lose either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 this is a fun series to collect... there are some rare years and variants, and even some overstruck examples (on Peter II Kopek) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
