RW Julian Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 The following looks bad: http://cgi.ebay.com/RUSSIA-1-2-ABAZI-1828-...1QQcmdZViewItem 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. RWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 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.
