gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 01:20 am Promised this forum a while ago that I would make this page. Here it is! Been hunting these overstruck coins for a while and these can be quite uncommon to really scarce. While overstruck coins may look ugly, some are really worth a fair amount.

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 11:38 am Thanks for the link on overstruck Russian coins. I have a few of them packed away and am now thinking of locating them and post the photos on this thread so you let let me know how common they are... *Great job* Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 12:26 pm Feel free to fire them away Broken-coin. Probably the more common ones are the overstruck denga and polushka (1730-35), 2 kopek (1757-59) and (1763-67). 5 kopek - 1763-67, 1788 for some mints. The rest could be challenging.

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 2:32 pm I don't know if your on facebook or not, but I uploaded over 30 Photo Albums of World error coins and currency... I did this as everything will go towards my grandchildrens education when the time comes, and I'm trying to get them interested at a early age... The facebook page is; Errorcoins Forsale (2 words in the search) and the profile photo is a 2003D Quad Struck Cent... Should you be interested, feel free to either friend me or email me at vernonpeterson@gmail.com... I love errors and have only a few that has yet been I/D'ed, and this forum would have been nice had it been available in the mid 60's (I'm giving away my age☺) I will look for the Russian coins this evening or tomorrow morning... Thanks in advance... Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 6:16 pm Here is the first of two Russian coins that were overstruck on a earlier struck coin, a 1731 Half Kopek with details from the first strike under the right side of the eagle. The overstrike must have had high pressure as the planchet is cracked... Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 6:28 pm Here is a 1757 Russiann 2 Kopeks that was overstruck. I enclosed a number of photos to try and show the details of the first strike, that had been almost obliterated in the 1757 overstrike. If anyone can ID the understrikes of this and the 1731 1/2 Kopek above, please advise... Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 6:37 pm Here is a low grade Russian double strike coin. The only reason I posted it here in the "overstruck" thread is that the second strike looks like it had a "beaded" edge design, that does not show up on the original first strike (unless it has been worn off in circulation)...

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 5:11 pm A bit hard to tell from the photos because it requires a lot of patience to hunt the details off the coin. Hence it's a lot easier if I see it on hand. First coin should be an overstrike over a coin from 1700s like this one: Second one is interesting as it's overstruck TWICE. The coin was originally a 5 kopek coin (1723 - 1730) which was overstruck as 1 kopek coin (1755 - 1757 maybe 1758?) Quite neat. Third coin is an interesting double strike. Good point about the beaded edge - never paid attention to it. Hope that helped.

wdpayne New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 7:01 pm I've got a couple of these - a 1757 and 1763 2 kopek and a really nice 1763 5 kopek that has clear images from the 1761-2 copper series. I really like older Russian coins - they have character.. Report this Post to the Staff
