The seller says that he inherited them from his great uncle. Well, maybe. If the reader will check the first two feedback items for this seller and look at the photos he will notice that the coins are identical!

I contacted the seller and told him how nice his story about great uncle was. He removed reference to great uncle from two of the coins, but it is still present on 1799 rouble.
