Does this look fake to your eyes? Lettering above Peter's head looks suspiciously small to me.

Any thoughts?

Could it be made with the same die designated as fake here? http://kopek.ws/cgi-bin/findfake?i=119&r=1

Looks ok but I'll rather wait for Julian's opinion as there is a growing number of fakes popping up these days. He's the expert. Welcome to coinpeople by the way.

These are different obverse and reverse dies. That does not prove the coin is genuine, only that a different set of dies was used.

I think I will dispute my ‘expert’ category as there are several readers of this forum with
expertise in various areas!

I have compared the reverse die to 2 known fake dies and neither was a match. The obverse
hub of Emperor Peter III, on the other hand, I am unable to match. (I looked at about 100 genuine
roubles of Peter III.) The reverse die on the website mentioned is not the same die.

The open sleeve above the letter C in the mintmark seems wide compared to most Peter III roubles
but some hubs are this way. However, those hubs with the wide sleeve have, as so far seen, a longer
hair queue behind the head while the narrow sleeves usually have the shorter queue.

There is just not enough information at present to be certain.

Julian, thanks so much for your thorough analysis! Although a picture can tell only that much, your observations were very helpful.
