Popular Post rehupuntti Posted June 15 Popular Post Share Posted June 15 Hi. I found this Russian 3 ruble 1843 platinum coin about 4 weeks ago in Finland. I've been to the same place many times before. Now I'm hooked on a Deus1 and 9"hf reel. As far as I understand, it's a rare coin😀  14 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28686-platinum-coin-found/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupot Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Oh hell yes! Thats a brilliant find, one of the scarcest to dig up. 10.3g with 170 odd thousand struck. I understand many were struck afterwards from original dies. Russia had the only circulation coins of this metal. Lovely coin! 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28686-platinum-coin-found/#findComment-299018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel lindsey Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Wow, beautiful coin and a great find! I didn't know any coins were made of platinum. I wonder what signal it gave, anywhere close to gold or silver for similar size.

Wild Bill Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Whoa!  That’s an awesome find.  I wonder what it’s purchasing power was back in 1843? Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28686-platinum-coin-found/#findComment-299025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Seeker Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Great find! In excellent condition it's worth around $2900, yours while in good condition would be worth much less but still a good bit of money!

rehupuntti Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 hf coil deus 1 13.3khz gave a clean 69id. Old maps from 1849 show an old road marked at the discovery site. Maybe some Russian Cossack dropped the coin. There is a road nearby called the Cossack Road. 3 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28686-platinum-coin-found/#findComment-299062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
