<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 18637573, member: 4373&quot;]Technology back in the day did not have precise scales for copper coins. These were often weight in batches and as long as they are within &quot;acceptable tolerance&quot;, they are &quot;ok&quot;. For instance a 5 kopek in that era is supposed to be about 50 grams and I have seen examples that range from 40 - 80g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everything about the shown example is just not right. The biggest flag would be the crowns are substituted with balls. The monogram also looks wrong. It is supposed to be George on horse slaying a snake / dragon and it looks like a pet dog???</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an excessively rare coin. An example sold perhaps 10 - 20 years ago went for 50k+ if I recall correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
