extant4cell Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 that looks more like 1779 to me, not 1772... something like these ones: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 You are absolutely correct. After my initial shock had passed, I figured that it must have been a 78 or 79. Your comparison shows clearly that it is 79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsmike Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Another coin for show and tell. Not much to tell, except that it is very attractive. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extant4cell Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just found this picture shown a couple of years ago, apparently. Coin is from Hermitage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsmike Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Here is a triple struck 1820 2 kopek piece I recently acquired. I have several double struck, but no others triple struck, at least none that are triple struck and attractive as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Cool! Very nice! Why could it happen and how? The die blows are pretty apart from each other. Sigi . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Interesting. Looks like equipment malfunction of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsmike Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I recently received an interesting 1811 2 kopek with an interesting mint mark. Are these common? Thanks, -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I believe the mintmaster marks have been punched in twice. Not too common but quite neat! In some cases, the mintmaster initials have been modified which is a lot harder to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 In 1811 two mintmasters were busy in СПБ: Михаил Клейнер (1808-1811) and Павел Ступицын (1810-1825). In my opinion we see here recut mintmaster initials, probably ПС over МК. Very interesting coin. Sigi . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Sigi, I think you are right! Should have checked my reference and it should have been obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thank you for the feedback, Hisa. It's become pretty calm in the forum. Sigi . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 But I keep reading it and checking every day! Great answer with mintmasters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
