Quote: Alaska, but not the lower 48? Yeah, the Numista mapping feature has some quirks ... The issuer Russia also includes Alaska, I guess since they owned it until "recently?" Here's my updated map which includes my birthyear collection, making it a bit less embarassing... It more than triples the number of countries to 66 (I have a few more to add that won;t change the appearance of the map, but will push it up to around 75).

Quote: The issuer Russia also includes Alaska, I guess since they owned it until "recently?" Pretty sure that Russia and Russian Empire were different issues last time I checked. If they've been merged since (and given the recent policy changes I wouldn't rule that out), yeah, that's on Numista's head here. As of last time I checked, the "Russian Empire" issuer included Alaska (reasonably, since they held Alaska for most of their history) and the "Russia" issuer didn't. [EDIT: I checked and AFAICT they're still distinct issuers. I'm guessing you have a Russian Empire coin; perhaps one of the Warsaw Mint "types" of the 1850s.] [EDIT 2: fixed very awkward typo.]

Yep, as usual j1m is right on such matters.
It is indeed my Russian Empire 1852 3 kopeck coin struck in Warsaw, part of my "birthyears" collection: Birthyear and place, or nearly so, of my great-grandfather.
