A bit of Russian would help but you can compare it against a picture and see what the error is.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 6:39 pm Error? What error? I immediately googled for a picture of this but didn't see any differences (except for some wear on the posted coin). IMHO this looks exactly like a completely normal 1840-EM copeck. If there actually is an error I'd be surprised (and interested to know which one). PS: Well, assuming the slight off-centerness (and/or misalignedness) isn't what you had in mind. If so, it's way too common to be truly called an error (indeed the best picture I found had very similar signs, just in another place). PPS: Okay, I've found the error (assuming it's not just from low resolution and/or bad image quality). Spoiler: it's missing the period after the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16848 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 03:17 am The Russian letter pe (first word, third from the left) is supposed to be shaped like the Greek letter pi, with a crossbar connecting the two pillars. There's a clear break between the pillars on this coin, making it look more like "II" than "P". 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
