Really, this is a subject I get interested in every few years or so and try to get some extra information on. It just so happens it interests me, what can I say? Let's lose the semantics on these, call them what you will, I'd rather not get sidetracked on that. These are some of mine, they're on Imperial Russian rubles, and they cover the time-span from 1809-1855. They're uniform, and they're affixed rather crudely. Let's see yours. Show, and do tell. Thanks! Edited by eddiespin 03/25/2011 8:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 07:00 am I am sorry to say that I have never seen any of these for sale around my parts. At least not that I can remember. I have a couple of hingeless ones, that is all. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 04/08/2011 11:16 am Litotes, thanks. These were handed down in the family along with some "hingeless" ones. In fact, I have another one where the hinges were removed and just the soldering on the coin remains. Because these examples are all uniform, that'd suggest the same manufacturer. Because they were affixed so crudely, that'd suggest they were affixed by blacksmiths, as opposed to fine jewelers. Nothing even in Wikipedia on these, although there still might be some obscure reference in a footnote or some such thing in a book I don't know about. Beyond that, there's this forum, and you collectors of world coins, that's why I'm here. Report this Post to the Staff
