bagerap Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 As far as I can see this coin isn't listed in SCWC, which shouldn't come as a surprise as it looks rather crudely done. Any ideas please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 It's supposed to be an 1805EM (Ekaterinburg) Polushka (1/4 Kopeck) of Alexander I. Those should be in Krause (if that is indeed what SCWC means). They're quite scarce but not too difficult to find. Looks fake to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 That's made me dig out an old 1976 Krause where it's listed as C#111. My current Krause, 5th edit. 2006 lists only C# 111.1 1803 EM. I agree it must be fake but hadn't realised that it was economically worth while to copy.

STEVE MOULDING Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yes, for this series originals of the 1803EM, 1804EM, 1805EM, 1808EM and 1810EM are all known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorS Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 How long has this coin been floating around your desk? These days a one in a nice grade will bring a few thousand dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 It was in a collection I bought about two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
