newbasic Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 hello. I am a collector of romania. My area of interest is the Roman Imperial coins, but recently I came in possession of the coin attached, and i cant identify it. it is silver, 0.2 g and 8mm diameter. Thank you in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 seems to me that it is wire kopek of Peter the Great, btw, welcome to coinpeople Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic gold Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Better photograph of the obverse would help. However, this is certainly a kopeck of Peter the Great as one-kuna says. It is from the Kadashevskii monetnyi dvor, but the exact year depends on what is written below the horse. Often it is possible to determine the year of issue from the type of horse, but this photograph does not allow to do so. Most people are curious to know what their coin might be worth of in the market. Even if the year of issue is clearly visible a coin like this will sell rather modestly. If it is only possible to trace a (missing) date by the type of the obverse the coin will not interest the majority of collectors at all. If it turns out the date is visible and interesting, e.g. the last year of issue 1717 - that is another matter, but the chances are low.
