RW Julian Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 The following piece is a modern fake 1700 polpolushka (one-eighth kopeck): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=370316223732 The seller says it is a restrike made from a later 18th century copper coin, as if that made it acceptable. His statement reads: “RESTRIKE COIN WITH ORIGINAL COOPER !!!! (COOPER FROM 5 KOPEKS C18th)” He also gets the denomination wrong as well as the century (1700 is the last year of the 17th century). It is not a polushka, as he states. RWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
