I received a bunch of old kopecks from a lot. Everything looked nice & dandy, but then i weighted this 10 kopecks 1837. And it came up at 33.5g instead of 45.5g!
I know ruskies and precisions weren't going along too well back then. I've got 5 Kopecks from Catherine II ranging very wildely in weight, like 20g difference between 2 of them... but it was back in the 1760s.
Do you know if vodka induced weight spread was still a thing during Nicolas I reign?
I'm not an ancient kopecks' expert, but i've handled my fair share of those this year. My intuition and feels tells me this is a genuine coin. The touch, the wear, the details, the patina... i didn't notice anything wrong going with the coin at first glance. The diameter is matching too.
Am i worrying over nothing bro? Since i know you love those old big bois, did you too witnessed such weight disparities among the ones you own?
