Ian 0 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 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 post Share on other sites
alexbq2 0 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 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 post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sigistenz 0 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 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 post Share on other sites

The ghosted letters at the right of the portrait.. cant quite read it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
