<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2808025, member: 80804&quot;]The Russians had a long-standing practice of creating official copies of their own rare types. Called &quot;Novodels&quot;, they typically predate the Soviet era, and many of them sell for as much or more than the original coins they copy and/or are the only way they are available.&nbsp; The Siberian 1 rouble in copper is an example - more like a piece of tableware than a coin in size, I believe the novodels were created because none of the originals were even known to exist at the time the novodels were created.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
