Hi,
I recently got this coin on a money fair.
It's KM#116. I show it to you in order to get some opinions about its grade.

Hi Maudry

Im afraid that coins such as the one you have pictures go beyond the scope of any experiance I have ,,

It is a very interesting coin and I appreciate looking at it ,, could you maybe give us a little insight into what you believe the coin grades and why ?

Hi Metalman,

I don't have much experience with this type of coins eather. The coin is completely readable and reasonably well centered which is not too common on those types of coins.
I have an idea about the grade but don't want to give it until I got some opinions.

Russian coppers can be tricky. Not only were they somewhat crudely made, but they were often "recycled" by overstriking, turning them into a different denomination.

I'd call that one around VG - it looks too flat for Fine to me.

thanks for your opinion Sap.
I was tending to around fine, as it is well struck and without weakness.
On the other hand you have the flat details as you write.
