I am guessing that it's probably hand engraved, and indeed it is very troubling. I checked it against a genuine Japanese 1 yen and the only...
You mean a counterfeit die like this? [img] The die that I have is made of hard steel, as of most dies used worldwide, so I cannot see why...
That IS interesting. I don't know if that really exists though but obviously from the price, it seems that it could be a trial coinage, or another...
That is pretty! Way to go. :) Frankly speaking, while having massive silver coins are fun, I think I am not too happy if they are of that size...
Sorry,after checking the pictures, I'm also pretty suspicious over this coin. It seems that it does not necessary need a die clash to create that...
Yes, clogged die, as in the last digit was filled with traces of metals and hence causing the digit to have vanished.
Sorry, you are contradicting yourself there. If it was a weak strike, such bold details of the letters WILL not appear there in the first place....
That is assuming that your coin is indeed genuine and the buyer does not demand for a refund back. Seeing your other post about a manipulated...
I think I will have to disagree - the Soviet references that I have does not mention any 1923 Latvian 1 lati unless Krause proves to fail hard, or...
Sorry, it makes no sense to me except being a counterfeit. When a double strike or overstrike occures, most of the time, the top layer is flatten,...
As well as, a rotation of 360 degrees will just bring it back to what it is supposed to be... do you mean 180 degrees?
Oh no, it's definately NOT my site, but the articles that I have typed out there is definately what I typed out, most likely when I am half awake...
Wait, were there any 1 lats minted in 1923??? I don't think I have come across any that were minted in that year.
No problem. If you have any more Russian coin questions, bring them all to here or to me directly.
What is interesting is that it might be a double strike but what is tempting me, is to ask if it is an overstruck coin and what the underlying...
Latvia, 1926, 2 lats.
That's no problem. I can do that right now for you. Edit to say, all of the *SILVER* coins minted around that era were minted in St. Petersburg....
Perhaps, since you made such a bargain, you have to get a catalogue book for them. I am not too sure what is the best out in the market, but I beg...
LOL - Am I supposed to assume that THEY were making counterfeits? Possible though. :eek:
No as well. It takes too much effort to maintain a website and knowing how Sylvester detests technology, let alone typing, I don't think so.
Separate names with a comma.
