The same seller had a different specimen from these same false dies in early January.

He has been reported to eBay but nothing happens. I think we will see more pieces
from these dies as time passes.

I also suspect they will be also in VF\XF condition.
And I almost paid.... 
Luckily I came across your forum and was already convinced that I should not risk this coin after reading all the post about the fakes.
After I registered I found this post. Count me lucky, but in fact it was a stupid impulse bid that I should have walked away from in the first place.
All I can say is thank you
to you guys on the forum for keeping an eye out for these "shuliki" (Russian for cheeky basterds 
)
Anyway, back to the 'normal' Russian coins and leave the real cool coins aside for later. I will be reading posts and maybe post a couple of pictures and answers.

A very “sad” matter to report. The seller of this fake is now re-listing it for sale as the $760
winning bid was not paid!

What will it bring this time?
