Interesting topic - only just found it! I've got quite a few Russian coins, but most are modern ones brought back from my four visits to the country. However, I found this 1789 5-Kopek coin some years ago near Maidstone in Kent with a metal detector. It was in an area of grassland that once was the private grounds of a stately home and has now been built over with modern housing:  |

I would appreciate help in identifying this Russian Kopek. It looks like a Peter 2nd Kopek of 1727, A small amount of research shows these results: - NGC has a listing for this date and denomination, but no details (?) https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1572685- as you say, there are no results on auction sites like COinArchives, or WCN for 1727, only for later dates. SO I am suspicious. |

Here's a 1720 rouble that is certified by a TPG but I question its authenticity because I can't find a match for the shoulder pattern. Thoughts?  |

tdziemia, as I already said 1727 kopek is a test mintage coin. Nothing suspicious, just probably no info about this on non russian websites.

Sorry. I missed your earlier comment. I would also add to the thread that there are some U.S. dealers who have always had a strong presence with coins from Russia and eastern Europe. http://www.dmitrymarkov.com/dm/https://www.google.com/search?clien...ephens+coins Also, CNG (based in U.S. and U.K.) has had a lot of Russian material in their recent auctions. Examples like these, plus ebay, can probably help to explain why U.S. collectors have no lack of Russian coins. I have only two Russian coins in my collection. I recently won this 3 Kopeck coin that was minted in Warsaw (then under Russian control) the year my great-grandfather was born there. Mintages of these types in Warsaw were much lower than in the main RUssian mint (in this case 100,000)  Edited by tdziemia

I'm going to blur the boundary lines a bit. Here are a couple of coins struck in Russia for overseas Indian coin struck in Moscow mint  Tajikistan coin struck in St Petersburg  Photos aren't the best but both of them have their own respective mint marks. And here are some Russian coins but were not struck in the usual St. Petersburg mint Struck in Paris - no mintmaster sign  Struck in Brussels - double star on edge  Struck in Osaka. You would think why would this be struck in Japan when relationship between Japan and Russia were pretty bad (still isn't the greatest)  My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseriesMy numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htmRegularly updated at least once a month. |
