RW Julian Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The following piece has some problems: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=370011481429 The problems include: 1) Alexander’s hair is badly done and nothing like the genuine. 2) The letter B, as in BORODINO, is of the wrong style. 3) The dot between 1 and RUBLE is much too large. 4) The horizontal lines on the lower part of the monument are not correct. The seller has been notified that, in my opinion, it is a fake. RWJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 But it has been in the family for 150+ years, so surely it is authentic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaE Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 This seller has been constantly selling questionable and harshly cleaned problem coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller did not respond to my message notifying him that the piece is a fake and it has not been withdrawn from sale. RWJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
