Russian 2 Kopeks from the reign of Alexander II. From the Ekaterinburg mint. Nice rims for a coin that is so worn, also nice even color.
Exceptionally well struck for the design, usually the portrait in particular is kind of mushy on the larger 100 Peso with the same design.
Nice coin. I'm curious why you chose a world coin instead of a US coin as your first proof (if its any of my business).
Me thinks you take yourself too seriously. It might surprise you to learn no one else does. To hear you describe it, my good natured (and...
Sorry to hear that, -I was kind of wondering when I looked at the picture because it looked like a minor to me when I first saw it just based on...

Sounds to me like they messed the coin up if NGC wouldn't put it back in a holder. Reminds me of the physicians hippocratic oath, "First, do no...
Not sure I follow what happened. Gold label?? Was this coin slabbed already? Did you send it in raw or in the original slab? How could they...
I looked at the Stacks photo, you're right, it looks so similar it probably is a contemporary fake that you have. I thought most of those fakes...
Has anyone ever used NCS? What were your results? Would you send this one in? Very curious about other collectors experience with sending coins...
