RW Julian Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Here it is. Looks as there is something fishy about this auction. Any opinions? http://cgi.ebay.com/Russian-gold-coin-3-ru...tem160079412614 WCO It looks odd but I checked on the original buyer and it apparently was a hijacked account, probably by a bored teen-ager. He did this to other sellers as well. I was recently notified by eBay that my account had been subject to repeated attempts to hack into it and they asked that I change passwords, which was done. About 2 years ago someone did hack into my account and made some bizarre bids, which stopped when the hijacking was discovered and the password changed. A friend of mine had her account hijacked and the perpetrator posted a fake sale of a John Deere tractor, complete with photo. That hijacking took almost a month to straighten out.

RWJ Right, most likely honest seller with 100% feedback got screwed. Now selling again. But what about the coin. Does it look authentic and problem free? For me it seems at least cleaned and with those pictures I can't say for sure on authenticity. WCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It seems that the reverse was brushed against something. What is more concerning is probably the upper right side of the double head eagle - perhaps it has been in some kind of jewellery mount? Not too sure how it's done but I don't think that kind of rim is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
