Seller is joannem2816 on ebay, a name which might be familiar to people here. Based in British Columbia, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you are correct although I have seen information that seems to say that he is also in Washington State, across the frontier. This seller used to offer a large number of very crude Russian fakes through eBay but has not done this for some time. I think ‘sommer’ has told us how the fakes are now being sold.

RWJ hello thank you again for your ansewers. Sorry but my english is just a little better than my knowledge about numismatics. I pass a lot of time in internet to find informations, advices, and to buy russians coins,i find this site by hazard on google. Some coins appeared to me as real and price corrects, but some looks like too"honnest" to be real, that s the reason i asked advices concerning this site . Before i dscovered this marvellous place,i bought coins only near from professionnals on e bay ( but all are not sure;looking for princes, feedbacks, compair with a french site http://www.maison-russie.fr/invites/monnaie/index.html ,it s in french,but very explicative) , but i pass a lot of time to find good occasions. Two weeks ago i went in a professionnal numismatic shop in Paris ( famous for french coins, but not specialised in russians),the owner saw my 5 russian gold coins, and my 2 coronation roubles . For him ,all my coins are true(particularly gold ).I just said that it is more and more difficult,to find real coinswith high prices ,a lot of robbers are on the market..... thank you regards frm france jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
