The following looks bad:

The seller has it marked 1828 but 1826 is the correct date. The crown and style of lettering do not match known genuine specimens. The seller has several other pieces which are either obvious counterfeits or likely to be so. Some of his pieces are genuine, however.

That's a nice piece really. I have always looked for one but the price keeps pushing me away.

For those who are tempted to bid on his Column ruble, I am suspecting something is wrong there. Either it's a completely new variety (which is very unlikely) or it's a counterfeit.

It's a counterfeit.
