ABuchan Valued Member Canada 65 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 3:01 pm Hi I have a coin from Russia with one side blank. I've weighed it at 2.3 grams and measured it at roughly 19 to 20mm.(My scale has been coming up under the actual weight. The weight is supposed to be 2.6994grams and the diameter is supposed to be 19.8mm for 15 kopeks during this time frame. Was this a coin struck using a double planchet? The coin is milled all around the edge and this is shown up to the blank side.(Not sure how to tell the difference between milled and reeded) Ive narrowed it down to 1906 to 1913 in accordance with #1069;#1041; - Elikum Babayants on the coin, but I haven't seen photos of coins prior to 1901. Also what is the obverse and reverse for a coin like this? (Ive edited this post for better pictures and because I originally read the world coin book incorrectly).

ABuchan Valued Member Canada 65 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 7:08 pm I'm pretty sure the error was done during manufacturing. I didn't post a picture but the reeder edge looks fine. Under the scope there's no sharp cut edges either. Report this Post to the Staff

Now more of an oddity even though the numismatic value is largely destroyed. Thx for posting.

Heres a couple more pictures for on-lookers with details of the milled edge on both sides of the coin for multiple spots around the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
