gxseries Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 As there were NO rubles minted in 1806, thanks to the chaos of how the ruble should look like, some prototypes were made by Leberecht F. Honestly, they don't look bad and in fact, perhaps better than half of the Russian designs out there. And of course, I had to be tempted to buy copies Of course, they can't possibly beat the quality of the REAL ones... 1806 ruble 1807 ruble Pricetag wise?

grivna1726 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 So a two-headed eagle is worth about $100,000 more? I think the 1806 (the one with the eagle) is one of the original patterns while the 1807 is a novodel (restrike). I don't know if the restrike is made from new or original dies because I don't know the diagnostics for Alexander I pattern portrait rubles. If the 1807 restrike is from original dies, then it is presumably distinguished by the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
