<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 26101650, member: 24091&quot;]Another just sold for $12,000 (all-in) yesterday at Heritage - described as the much scarcer Leningrad mint issue (Moscow mint being the more common).&nbsp; Housed in an NGC PF70UCAM slab, but with discoloration evident in the fields above the plow handles on the obverse.&nbsp; Not really a perfect coin by any stretch. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have one in the collection, in an old NGC slab without mint attribution, and without the edge viewable where the mint mark is located.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering if there is any other way to identify the mint without cracking the coin out, perhaps differences in dies between the mints, etc?&nbsp; Assuming there is no way of telling, I am also wondering how much above the normal price realized for a Moscow mint coin would be seen if auctioned off as &quot;possibly&quot; the far more scarce Leningrad mint type?&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the PF69 grade hurts it much since at the time it was slabbed the PF70 grade likely didn&#039;t exist.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1663970[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1663968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1663969[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
