STEVE MOULDING Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Very hard to find. All references grossly underestimate this coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Most references list 2 varieties: Small 'им', and large 'ИМ'. I have not seen any such variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Alex, Mihail lists 3 varieties. He implies that the difference between Small 'ИK', and large 'ИK' is negligible, and in fact, as he couldn't find any at all, he believes that it is a mistake that was carried from one catalog to another. He describes 3 types of 2 k EM-ИМ: 1) Large EM; 2) Small EM with dot after "kopejki" and 3) Small EM without a dot after "kopejki". The last variation (#3) is the most difficult to find, and all are far from being common (last year) coins as Steve mentioned. Your coin is variation #1, and a nice example too!

extant4cell Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Mihail Zubaraev - the author of the catalog on 2 kopecks of this type (1810-1830). It is discussed around this post: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php/topic/25222-1810-copper-2-kopeks-em-hm-chicken-type/?p=596400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMIS Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 It will be interesting to put together a collection on the web. I do not think there is one on the English language site. Not sure if we can do it in the format of CoinPeople; it may be better to develop a separate website. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
