I'm sorry my friend. I can't make this picture better - this exact image of this rare coin. I got this coin like a gift from my friend Bruce. It is very rare coin in Siberia (I never held such coins in my palm before).
Eugene just thought I saw something that would make the coin even rarer. Wanted to see a few things to check for a variety . I'm sure you have the only one in Siberia , and like quite a few more items in your collection I'm sure are the one and only. You do have a great collection Eugene . I'm not sure what's greater your collection or your passion to collect.
And a WTG to Bruce for sending you another fine coin to add to the Siberian collection . I'm thinking Eugene will be opening an exposition of his collection soon. So all his neighbors , friends ,and family can share the fruits of his labor putting together such a fine collection .
Great thread , goes to show no matter where we all are we have common interests and great friends. It was a pleasure to read. ( I'm from Wales and my English is tolerable too)
It never fails to amaze me how many really good collections can be put together in so many different ways.
Nice looking, post civil war nickels! I have always liked the shield with rays design, too bad they were so hard to produce.
