RW Julian Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 The following piece is suspicious: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=320311334217 It appears to have been deliberately mishandled. Because of the damage, it is not possible to be certain, but the obverse die does seem to be the same as on the fake illustrated on page 13 of RNS Newsletter 18 (fall 2006). The seller of this piece has a feedback of 4, all for purchases having nothing to do with Russian numismatics. RWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ and I think the text offering the historical context is also to divert suspicion away from the coin. Anyone that knows what this coin is will also know that history.

Anyone that knows what this coin is will also know that history. This, in my opinion, is an astute observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
