jeggy Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 2 Kopeks - used in Latvia, Lthuania, Poland and Northwest-Russia. 1 Rouble had a value of 2 Mark - these iron coins (1,2,3 Kopeks) were used for payments by German army members.

jeggy Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Very very nice sample!Great photo studio set-up you have there! I'm using an Olympus C-770 Camera, a transparent coin presenter and a strong diffuse light source - that's all. These coins are hard to find in such preservation. A few days ago, I tried this: http://www.sixbid.com/home/auctions/lanz/m...26/00852H00.HTM Unfortunately, it was a bit too expensive for me (sold for $190 + premium,tax) The price of the coin above was $25.

Burks Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 That's a great price on the coin posted. Not sure if you know or not but Tiffi is a big collector of German coinage. I myself am as well but not to the extent of her. Check out her Omnicoin page sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
