Hey mate, I have this 15 gold Russian Rouble 1897 (narrow rim) and I don’t know how it got the Numista rarity of 66. It is to be said that many of em got melted or lost but there isn’t a solid evidence saying that. Do you know an answer?
@shaunoliver1703Күн бұрын
Short answer - No. Its a bit too numismatic for me - I would maybe speak to baldwins in the strand about it. I knew they have extensive knowledge on older European. Sorry I couldnt be of more use.

The Tombstone bars are all slightly different from each other, shape wise and the hammered finish is apparently done by hand (which gives it more variance) before the name and logo are machine pressed on. There are a few videos online showing the bars side by side which does show some are slightly longer or wider than others. It's almost like they cast a giant silver nugget and then cut them up into the various sizes

The lustre on the 1887 is fine definitely mint state bit the bag marks and harilines is holding it back at 62 . Any victoria or earlyer coins in any ms grade are worth it .

I think for me I was disappointed because it looked better pre grading but equally you are correct a MS victoria is still a highly desirable coin.

Very few 1979 proof Sovereigns have been credited with 70 proof grade. Ok, it's a long time ago but if the coin had never left the capsule and is conserved as necessary on grading why don't more get better results. Your 1979 Shaun looks top notch.

Some of those Victorian sovereign's must've been first strikes of a new die, giving the appearance of a proof. I'd have been deceived too. Like the 1953 S.A. pound & half - excellent grades. In total, it was a succulent selection of graded proofs but Shaun mate, why another 2022 Memorial? Argh!

The difference between the 2008 and 2009 is pretty stark. Apparently for 2009 they reused/re-engraved Victorian dies because the quality of the ones they had been using had suffered a lot. A big visual clue is the removal of the streamer on St George, which has carried on since with the one/full sov.

@shaunoliver1703 True. It'll spike up randomly one of these years. Palladium spot is now lower than Platinum whereas it was higher than gold just a couple of years ago. The markup they demand on Palladium bullion is just silly and has kept me from buying any. Have you ever traded Palladium bullion or, dare I ask, Rhodium?

I'm experienced enough to know that you should talk with conviction when you are 100% - Just because some people say its so it doesnt mean its true. Selling fake gold is bad for business but equally Ive sold so much in terms of coin that if I was to be selling fake coins you would find me buried somewhere under a motorway. A simple check on numista would suffice to check the measurements :)
