gxseries Your collection is truly impressive. Yes I know a lot more about 1800-1850+ coins. Surprisingly to see all these coins in Australia. Arkie your copper coins (except 5 kopeks) are it great condition. Better then I often saw in ru collections.

Dear all, I would appreciate help in identifying this Russian Kopek. It looks like a Peter 2nd Kopek of 1727, obviously Moscow mint. But does this year even exist for this coin type? I don't have any reference works on Imperial Russian coins and the only comparable pieces I found online were of later years (starting with 1728: Krestovik, Moscowka. on the back of the coin - St. George the Victorious rides a Snake on a horse) Peter II came to power in April/May 1727 - so it seems that possibly this is a scarce or even rare piece if it is real. Any opinions? Thanks a lot!  |

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:  |

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
