gxseries Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Something you should watch out - common imperial russian counterfeit coins don't normally pop up until now and looks like it will pop up more often: Weight stated is 19.2g versus 20.73g of an original. (a big slipoff obviously) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=290110952969 With such surfaces, it shouldn't be too hard that it's a cast copy or some sort.

Cheburgen Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I saw the pictures of even more common coin. For example, 1/4 kopecks 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarities are always a target for counterfeiters, but even cheap coins offer profit potential (and are less likely to be examined closely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 You know guys, maybe it's wrong, but if I see that a seller is located in China, I immediately close the page Has anybody ever bought a good genuine Russian imperial coin from China? (I doubt...) I don't know if this fits your definition of "good" or not: 1896-* Poltina, from Hong Kong It is only about VF-20 grade, but the rims are OK and it has otherwise no problems. And not terribly expensive either, considering that only about 200,000 were struck. But this is my only purchase from China, except for some DVDs. (It's amazing how many hard-to-find things there are on DVD over there, if you like classical music.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
