gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 05:36 am Thought I'd post it here since Russian error coins are somewhat under appreciated and or underrated. Got them a while back but never got around to properly photographing them. 1750 denga, double struck 1773 5 kopek (EM), excess Cud 1812 2 kopek (KM), lamination 1821 2 kopek (EM), multiple strike Now this one is interesting - I'm actually not too sure if this is multiple strike or something else. 1930 5 kopek, rotation error I know it's just a "normal" Soviet coin but when was the last time you see an error coin like this? 1994 50 ruble commemorating sandy mole rat, off center core I really thought the off center core is neat! Matches with another off center core coin that I have. Please feel free to share your Russian error coins.

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 10:00 am Since all my coins are permanently packaged for my grandchildren's inheritance, I had to pull some photos from one of my facebook accounts I set up a few years back for them.. Photos of overstrikes don't show details as viewed in hand.. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 10:21 am Broken-coin, some nice examples you got there. I don't think I've seen a clipped planchet of that error and this could be a lot scarcer than what you may imagine. I also like the double struck denga. I personally do not classify overstruck coins as errors. Reason being is that as mints during those era intentionally used older planchets to either cut cost or decided to skip the process of destroying older coins and strike new coins due to various reasons. I've written an article a while back which you may find of interest: http://gxseries.com/numis/overstrik...erstrike.htm I'll attempt to solve the mystery that you have with the overstruck coins. For more information about Russian overstruck coins, this may be of interest: http://gxseries.com/numis/rus_imper...erstruck.htm For the 1731 denga, I believe it's overstruck over this particular type. Overstruck over Peter I 1710s kopek coinage. Note that there's absurd amount of varieties for his coinage. The 1757 2 kopek is overstruck over Baroque kopek. This is easy to tell as you can see the eagle features as well as the cloud feature My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

I've written an article a while back which you may find of interest: http://gxseries.com/numis/overstrik...erstrike.htm I agree 100% and really consider it a variety.. I didn't start purchasing Global Errors till around 2001, when ebay started getting some crazy prices for USA Errors (back then a double struck Cent/Nickel or Dime could be had for $25.00) and being in the States, didn't realize other Countries reused their obsolete coinage when reissuing newer coinage.. I learned this when I purchased a 1701 France 1 ECU issued over a 1694 France 1 ECU.. The kicker is the 1701 ECU is valued more if not overstruck... Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 03/29/2016 02:31 am dohcollector - nice coins. Neat die crack on the 1933 10 kopek - which was somewhat common back then. I've seen a few double struck wire money but never got into them... just never had the passion I guess. The other two is probably a bit tougher and maybe more desirable. The ruble in particular is in a nice condition and you know it's very nice if you can see St George slying the dragon clearly. This is one of the points that normally get worn off first. The crowns on both side of the coin get worn out next. As there's little wear on all three elements - it must look really nice on hand. The die clash is a bonus if it doesn't detract the beauty too much. I'm quite intrigued with the 1841 denga. It may suggest to seem of an overdate but the photo just doesn't do justice. I've tried to zoom into the photo but can only guess where it is. If this is indeed the case, this could be an undocumented case. And yes, that link is mine. It's also in my signature. It's open for reference purposes and am happy to discuss. Eventually I will need to overhaul my entire collection and maybe start to rephotograph some of the older coins in my collection and getting rid of duplicates. It's got to an unmanageable stage...
