sigistenz Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 This mule (old eagle/new date side) was auctioned in Europe. Guess what it fetched (20% gravy to be added). I shot at it, too - but way too short. Sigi see auction link below http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1354&category=27719&lot=1244588 .

alexbq2 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 A very nice and rare coin, not cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Over 3000 EUR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 How did you arrive at over 3000 EUR? Hammer price is 1380 EUR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Sigi asked to guess, this was my guess. I didn't look up what the hammer price was. Glad to see it went less that what I guessed. In this condition, it is a better than a solid price I guess... The price range history: http://www.m-dv.ru/catalog/id,2793/prohod.html doesn't give much insight though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy o boy, I been looking for a sister for my 1771. Thinking hard... Only problem is that he does not grade only problem coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGC would probably give it the Details grade due to planchet flaws. Not sure if anything else is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Luckily there are still some ungraded coins left, saved from the slabbers' expensive coffin. This one looks nice and affordable (it went for $380). See auction link below picture. Sigi http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1354&category=27719&lot=1244567 .

extant4cell Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I should probably start calling these lines "awns". Here is another interesting coin, a lot more pricy though ( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1730-RUSSIA-KOPEK-XF-NICE-GRADE-/390880739897?ViewItem=&item=390880739897&nma=true&si=4clLBW2c0e6WezTe9TLdU9KyB%252B0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 ) Very similar to #44 (A: #23/25 but with different crown, and R: #24a but with different rosette) that I already contributed to the guide, but with an extra feather in a right wing and in a much nicer condition.

extant4cell Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Here is an unusual denga. It's a template 1 - 1730, reasonably rare in 1730 and in good condition. This one also has an unusual eagle for template 1 dengas in 1730, usually they have 5 feathers in the tail or 4 feathers + awns (naked feathers), this is the only one I know that has 4/4 feathers: Here are the examples of different templates: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
