IlyaE Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I was offered to purchase this Siberian 2 Kopecks from the construction worker, who bought it in the Siberian village (was told it was in the family forever). It doesn't seem to be an original 1764 2 Kop, which is extremely rare and I don't think had any mint marks. If it was novodel, I think it would have much better details. Doesn't look like a fake, but if it's not a fake what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCO Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 If it looks like fake, if it feels like fake than it is a FAKE. WCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Doesn't look like a fake, but if it's not a fake what is it? I disagree. It screams "Fake!" at me. The style is all wrong and I especially don't like the style of the characters forming the inscription, denomination and date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I disagree. It screams "Fake!" at me. The style is all wrong and I especially don't like the style of the characters forming the inscription, denomination and date. Agreed. The letters don't look right, it doesn't feel right. A reasonable attempt but still fake. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 The letters are not right. I have had emails on my Russian account offering to sell me Siberian coins similar to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
