ScottM, if it is possible, can you post a picture of your 1731 denga? Denga from 1730-1735 are known for their overstruck feature and some of...
The smaller denomination silver coins of Nicolas II coins are still easy to find in UNC condition, i.e. 20, 15, 10 and 5 kopeks. The 5 kopek...
This is a rather uncommon 4 kopek and Krause's value of 30 dollars is clearly undervalued. In fact, I believe it would sell for at least 300USD...
Krause is NOT a good reference book for Imperial Russian coins. Prices are totally outdated and unrealistic and the varieties are well detailed....
I probably paid less than half of that years ago but that's because Russian coin prices have skyrocketed since then. Maybe they are reasonable...
I disagree. If you are into Russian coins, you should get V.V. Uzdenikov 1700-1917 Russian coins, second edition. Don't get the third edition as...
If I recall correctly, the Royal Australian Mint strikes most of the regular coins for circulation and mint sets and some commemorative coins...
All of them are Russian except for one silver coin which you can see 1 Markaa. This is a Finnish coin struck under Russian rule. What I am...
Dear rad, please don't worry about the weight descripency. Usually copper coins during that era are within a tolerance level of +- 10% and yours...
I have to disagree that the nickel is a genuine counterfeit. It seems to me that it is a "hammer job", as in what happened is someone took a cent...
This is a rather challenging set and it took me just a couple of years to find it. [img] [img] This set only consists of two coins...
The Central Bank of Russia has better information about the bi-metal coins that they have struck since 1992. The current 10 ruble bi-metal coin...
Congradulations!
The German Military kopek coins are relatively difficult to find in rust free condition - they are probably underrated in my opinion.
Why bother with metals when you can get more paper and educate yourself? Your knowledge is definitely worth more than a mere few kilos / pounds...
Wikipedia does a reasonably good job in illustrating what happened in the past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladium I cannot find any article...
I have difficulty accepting GM's massive sell-off played a major role in the crash of palladium price. GM (if it is true) is just part of the...
I don't see what's surprising about this as if this is something that happens only in Peru. This happens globally in countries such as Indonesia,...
This book may be relatively uncommon - can you try to locate the page of when this was published? I'm sure it would be in published back in Showa...
The 1870 1 yen is indeed scarce but as far as I can tell, I'm afraid to tell that it's cleaned and possibly damaged depending how it is soldered...
