maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 03/02/2007 07:57 am 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.

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 03/02/2007 7:12 pm 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. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 04:58 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
