with long neck. Reverse: Russian eagle. Hairline in obverse field,
attractively toned. Excessively rare Novodel issue. Much scarcer as a Novodel

$7,500-UP.
It is interesting to compare the weight of this coin with the
Irv Goodman specimen (Feb 11-12, 1991, Lot 698) which was just 13.77 grams. Yet
further proof of the well known fact that the weight of Novodels of the pattern
Roubles 1801-1810 vary from as little as 13 up to 24 grams. (See Zander p.90).
This coin even exceeds the top weight limit.
