I won an auction on a banknote from a Russian seller the day before the invasion. It shipped the day of the invasion. Tracking shows that it was...
When did you serve? I was a Surface Warfare Officer in Norfolk between ‘96 and ‘99 on the Mount Whitney (LCC-20) and Harry S Truman (CVN-75).
To what degree do you think that the war in Ukraine will affect the market for Russian coins? Will the crash in the ruble and resulting economic...
Should a holed coin receive a “drill effect” designation? How about “dremel effect” for whizzing? “Details” is boring…
I can read Russian and it is definitely from the Vladikavkaz branch of the Russian State Bank. The stamp on the back is from November 2018....

It’s still a lot more interesting of a coin than a Morgan dollar with similar mintage… What is the overall survival rate of thalers from this...
I pulled the trigger on this Hogmouth a couple days ago. It is my fourth pre-1700 Thaler sized coin, following my Saxony 3 Brothers Thaler, Dutch...
What are the best sources for buying these coins? Even modern Russian issues seem hard to come by on EBay other than BIN’s with inflated prices.
