ScottO Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 got most of these cheaply. £3.50 the 2, the Lenin Rouble was going for £3 alone and that was excluding the postage price (which i included in my price here) £7.50 for this 2 kopeck, wasn't going to go any higher then that for it anyway but A nice clear overstrike of the previous issue 4 kopeck £1.65. was also a french coin all 3 from same seller so postage on 3 coins was £2. so not added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extant4cell Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Very common, mostly non-collectabel coins (due to poor grades)... Why don't you save a little bit of money and buy one coin in a month or in 3 months, but in collectable grade? I think you will treasure it more and if ever you would want to sell it, you'll have a lot more people interested... Just a thought...

ScottO Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 no i don't, i'm in the UK, less stuff so price is excessive sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Try eBay... But do what you do now, start small... less chance to buy worthless copy... if you want to buy something expensive - always ask a second opinion. That's what I do when in doubt... Good luck!

extant4cell Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 People sell here? I don't know, didn't look for this section on this forum yet. I know that many forums allow members to trade directly with each other and sellers even do mini auctions.... This is not a practice here, is it?

alexbq2 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well, there's this: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?/forum/30-advertising-forums/ Has anyone ever traded russian coins there? I just don't think there's that many of us on this forum, and I never check that section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 i don't due to location. and i buy this stuff ff ebay, thats the main place to get these russians, as very little comes in at my dealers, picked up 2 in 3 years there (paris 50 kopecks, my 1855 2 kopecks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 alexbq2, nice medal you got for $240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks, haven't received it yet. There were 2 other nice Russian medals up for an auction. I was planning to bid on them as well, but someone apparently convinced the seller to list them as Buy It Now and bought them for $220 apiece! To be fair I think there were a couple of other medals in there, French Napoleonic and something else. I guess that 'someone' bought the whole lot! A very clever move!

gxseries Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 There is absolutely nothing wrong with low grade coin as long as one is happy with it. In fact, one can learn plenty of things from them. I know I did and that's how I found some of the tougher coins which I have so far not able to upgrade, i.e. 1795 MM 1 kopek, 1933 5 kopek, 1804 polupoltinnik and so forth.

one-kuna Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 thats right, gxseries, if you have a chance, can you show your kop 1795 mm, ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 It's really low grade but I'm 99.9% certain that it's a 1795 MM 1 kopek. Which reminds me to retake this photo when I get a chance to... The conclusion is, just because it's low grade doesn't mean it's not collectable or not saleable. Some are just impossible to find in any grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I will not argue as I share your opinion to a degree. I believe it is better to start small, when you new to the field and it also applies to rare finds. To the truth I still have lots of low grade coins (not as low as you MM kopek though), and some times I think of selling them on eBay, which I'll probably do soon. Also, sometimes, just for fun I buy coins I don't really need, or in grade lower then the one I already may have... You know those bids you place when you think that the coin is worth much more and you may win accidently, I find it actually exciting sometimes!

ScottO Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 happens often, but worn coins have something, a past people have held them, spent them, and i usualy do only buy them when i think it is worth more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
