Ian Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Here's a (hopefully genuine ) rouble from the period of Peter III. Not exactly in the best of conditions....it appears to have been holed (and plugged) and scrubbed to death at some stage. Dated 1762, Moscow mint (MMD below bust) when Daniel Mochalkin was mint master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 That one looks alright to me. Although, I do not routinely buy roubles. The hole is unfortunate but it has a better overall appearance that mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks like someone has dragged it through a hedge....more than once! Still, it is authentic and a collectable example of a scarcer type coin.

sigistenz Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I like yours, Josh. it is quite nice. Peter's features and everything else are distinct. It has never been cleaned or doctored and sure would have a lot to tell. It might be an overstrike? Sigi . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
