Fake Ivan III ruble???

Anything on eBay should be questioned, and his "no returns" policy also makes me raise an eyebrow. I can't say for sure, but I certainly would never risk my money on a coin like that.

Not sure, maybe someone with more knowledge of these can chime in:

I'm suspecting everything now...

This same piece was sold by a seller on eBay in 2007; that seller is known to

sell fakes and has been discussed on this forum. This fact does not make the

present piece a fake but the chances are good that it is.

It looks fishy to me.

 

A genuine example of this coin in such condition (in a real auction) could reasonably be expected to bring far more than the $3,500.00 realized for this piece.

 

If this one is genuine, then one can only wonder why the seller was willing to let it go on ebay for a sum so far below current market value.
