Well, thanks to a Christmas bonus at work big enough to withstand the ladies of my life taking their share and leaving me a few bucks, I purchased a long desired piece. As some of you might remember, my Russian collection has mostly been a date and mintmark collection of all minor Russian coinage back to Paul I. While my focus on that area is still there, when I have the opportunity to add a crown size coin, it is a thrill.
I have long admired the Rubles of the 1700's and early 1800's but have never really committed the resources to buy them.
1818 Ruble!
In any case, I am pretty happy with this purchase. I know on the obverse, the end of the word 'ruble' is nearly faded entirely, but the reverse is a VF in my opinion. Overall, I think a grade of fine is warranted and I am happy with the purchase price.
Any comments?
(If they are negative, or a lecture of sorts, please just PM me, thanks.)
Cheers,
Nick
