IgorS Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Latest World Wide Coins of California auction had a late overstrike of Elizabeth on Ivan - 1745. It used to be a great rarity, but seems a few came to light in the past few years. Still, the other ones have a 5 that looks like a 3 (or vice versa). With this coin it is a clear 5.

RARENUM Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 IgorS purchasing nice error at Renaissance sale,it was great auction back in 2000.All collection sold for $1.1-$1.2 million I believed only one coin in couple years after sale can be sold for $1.0 million. I remember before the auction dealers was saying Russian coin market will be down because 3000+ coins from one auction it is too many coins for Russian market, they was wrong.

IgorS Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I made a mistake back in 2000. There was a matching 10 rouble gold coin there with similar effect. They would look nice next to each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would look nice next to each other I would agree if we have enough financial resources to pay. On my wanted list was about 10-15 times more coins than I purchesing and I remember how hard was paid for my invoice , ask for extension back in 2000 to pay my invoice and the same time about 1-2 years after auction I was purchasing more coins(Ex Renaissance) from other dealers and paid extra. It was great time and prices for Russian coins more affordable Rarenum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I agree. I was also buying Renaissance coins from dealers after the auction, because they were such great coins!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
