grivna1726 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi! I am not a pro, and i have a question. Is this coin is genuine? Thanks a lot! No authenticator worth his salt would declare a coin genuine based only on a photograph (although it is certainly possible to declare a coin as fake on that basis). I would never buy an expensive Russian coin (such as one valued at $50,000) from some stranger on the internet, especially one whose terms of sale say "Returns: No Returns Accepted". Genuine examples of such coins are in strong demand and have many potential buyers. If one buyer is not interested, many others will be. Real dealers stand behind what they sell and offer a return privilege if the customer is unhappy, especially if the coin has not been seen in hand by the buyer. Personally, I would not touch this piece with a ten foot pole. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
