The link above from his ebay is without a doubt an exact die match for the modern Chinese based counterfeits. The key die marker is in between the A and the M at around 2 o'clock on the obverse.

 

Here is a pic of a modern counterfeit to compare it to. (On another inspection, the M and O next to the circle both have notches)

The 1899 "gold" 10 roubles is a well-known fake, as is the 6 rouble piece.

 

Yet the photos are 100% original. I've seen this line used before :ninja: . Another thing that would arouse my suspicions are the dark photos of the coins mentioned. Most of the other photos look okay, yet the suspect coins are very difficult to discern. I avoid sellers who post coins or notes with images that are too dark or blurry. It makes me think they are trying to hide something. This is just my opinion though.

Seller based in Australia: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=150354655892

 

A lot of his coins offered right now as well as his previous auctions don't look original at all to me.

 

6 platinum rubles is obvious fake :ninja:
