Think I have Just found a Rare Moden Russian Coin. What do you think ?

[dooly]

Hi all

 

i have been going through some coins i got of eBay a while back and found this 1956 10 Kopecks which seems to have the Reverse of the 1957 10 Kopecks 7 & 7 Ribbons on the wreath not 8 & 7 as the 1956 should have..

 

Q: is it what i think it is ?

 

Q: If so is it realy as rare as Krause says ?

 

Q: Is it Gradeable with the rim knocks ?

 

Q: If gradeable will NGC lable it as such ?

 

 

Thanks in advance dooly (thumbs u

It is what you think it is, but in the condition of the rim I cant imagine NGC would holder it.

I bet you could get $30.00 or more out of it. IMHO

Cheers for that.. shame NGC would not slab it i would have put it in the collection ..

 

$30 great.. i worked it out it cost me 0.04p or 7 cents when i devided the cost of the lot of coins..

 

Ps. what is IMHO ?

Dooley,

 

I am confused. You say that you ran across this 1956 10 Kopecks, but the obverse has 1957 for the date. So the reverse for the 1957 would be normal.

Sorry rey i got it upside down i ment it had the reverese of the 1957 unlike the common 1957 which has the reverse of the 1956.. now you see why i was questining my identification of the coin ...

 

Q: should this be classed as a mule ?

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

 

More politically correct than IMO

 

Mule ? don't know.. a mule is defined as an incorrect pairing of dies.. it has the right date so I doubt they intended a different die do you ?

Now I am really confused.

 

It is interesting and most definitely a good year.

IMHO i see said the blind man !

 

MULE dont know as the 1957 is a single year coin which you would think the they would have suck with the 1956 reverse but there is a 1956 with the 7/7. maybe there was a "dodgy" die made !

If it's only worth $30, why would you waste the NGC fees on it. Keep it, it is really cool. I don't have my Krause with me, but if it is as rare as you say it is, you will regret selling it later. Maybe it could be labelled a "transitional type."

Krause info "2006" : - F $50 VF $75 XF $150 UNC $250

 

as for "waste" its never a waste to have a coin put into a NGC holder in my eyes.. as it makes me keep the coin a lot longer than a raw coin $16.50 + $0.08 = $16.58...works for me

 

i wonder what the mintage was on these coins were ?

 

I have just sold a KM# 2801 2 heller Austria NGC F15 BN coin which people would not have bothered to have graded with such a low F price ($50) but it sold for £67.21 over $120. would it have sold raw for this much ?

this coin was also aqired in a job lot of coins for less than 10cents

P.s i totaly respect your opnions Please keep them comeing
