The seller says "THIS IS NOT A COUNTERFIT". It may, however, be a counterfeit Also, despite the guarantees, no returns accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, all those red flags are fluttering - move along - pass go, and don't look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have counterfeit for circulation 10 rubles and 5 roubles. They are made to (crudely) resemble the original, this does not. This item does look struck, so a modern fantasy is most likely to be the origin. I take it that no one has seen this trim bearded version of Nick the II before.

Saor Alba Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Indeed it is not a contemporary counterfeit but rather a modern fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 A second one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=220541274654 If you check the seller's feedback the winner of the previous auction for this object posted a positive feedback: "Now I'm rich wbabashoff Jan-20-10 12:55 1899 RUSSIA 10 ROUBLE (PATTERN) VERY RARE (#220534715879) US $56.00 " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the silver 10 and 15 roubles that to me do not appear to be fakes, went really cheap although some of them do look like they have been cleaned, and in spite of the fact that they were all described as "Rare", certainly weren't.

Rhino Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 LOL funny you should post the link to this auction, I saw this a few days ago and was thinking the same thing - what in the world is this? Whatever it is, in my opinion it's just plain BAD. Ugly portrait, crude. A shaved nicky is no good lol And $56 is definitely not worth this.

bobh Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 This is well-known crude fake which is usually found gold plated. The gold plating has rubbed off, and this is what you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
