RW Julian Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 The following Marriage rouble is very poorly done, leading one to wonder if the engraver was all that sober: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=170283114685 This Israeli seller seems to have a connection with China, judging from the items he has sold is or is selling. This may or may not mean a Chinese origin for the fake Marriage rouble. The specimen is, however, guaranteed genuine! The seller says it comes from Dargate Auction Galleries, which is unknown to me.

sturzny Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 The Li Yuan-Hung dollar the seller is offering is also an obvious fake, in what I assume is a fake ANACS slab. ANACS is occasionally sloppy but I don't think they would make an error this blatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Have a look at the only coin from the Dargate auction house. It's an older Russian coin in an old style paper flip and appears to have been taken from a cell phone. It's a very poor shot, much unlike this nice photo of the fake coin.

RWJ Interestingly, and perhaps significantly, the seller is no longer claiming Dargate as the source. The text now says "GENUINE GUARANTEED - FROM Live Auction. eBay item number & lot number will provide according to request." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
