bobh Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Doesn't look exactly like the pictures in Uzdenikov: 2 kopeiki 1787-TM (???) What do the experts say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Why bother? Chances of such rare coins don't even appear on ebay unless it's some major auctionners using ebay system. But again, TM coins are SO rare - you can expect to daydream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, TM coins are SO rare - you can expect to daydream. I will tell you why I bother: There are lots of people who DO daydream, and they lose a lot of money by believing this kind of seller ... after all, he/she says "Ich garantiere Echtheit der Münze" (i.e., "I guarantee that the coin is genuine" ... ... strange that a seller in France would write the article description in German, too...) But maybe SOME of those people read this forum ... THAT is why I bother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 It is not a fake. It is a joke. For me, this one is a joke: JOKE The other one is a dangerous fake -- especially when the seller gives a guarantee of authenticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 For me, this one is a joke: JOKE The other one is a dangerous fake -- especially when the seller gives a guarantee of authenticity. A cheap alternative to the Sestoresks ruble I didn't get in the CNG auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 For me, this one is a joke: JOKE The other one is a dangerous fake -- especially when the seller gives a guarantee of authenticity. Now look at the prices realized for these two items: joke: EUR 5,50 (buyer: ) dangerous fake: EUR 302,50 (buyer: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
