<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 505287, member: 4373&quot;]Yes, Russia was the only country that ever had platinum as a circulating coinage struck from 1828-1845. Some European countries had gold plated platinum coins which were passed off as counterfeits but they were never official. </p><p><br /></p><p>The platinum ruble come in 3 denomination, 3, 6 and 12 rubles. Funny enough, they were never popular as they looked similar to silver. Today though, these are very popular in particular the 6 and 12 rubles are being relatively scarce. The price that GDJMSP quoted is severely underrated by Krause and I can imagine that a UNC 6 ruble coin can easily exceed 10k . </p><p><br /></p><p>There are an awful amount of counterfeit platinum coins which I hope yours isn&#039;t. the easiest to find out the weight of the 3 ruble coin, which should be around 10.35grams if I remember right. Do post photos where possible. 6 ruble should be 20.70grams but I don&#039;t have my reference at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
