netFish Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 HI t oeverybody, I found this coin on one of auctions, i do not know if it worth what they are asking for. Same coin was sold on eBay for over 400$(200436622294), unfortunately i do not have better picture . From the description i know that weight of this coin around 29 Gramms. Also i read somewhere that original coin should be 31.11 grams. I really like this coin, but not sure if it worth anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 At least 30,000USD if original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netFish Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Do you think first one might be real or it is good fake ? what reference do you use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Don't bother looking at ebay or other online auctions. They are that scarce that you can pretty much only find them offered by auction houses. If the weight is wrong, that alone is more than enough to determine that it's a counterfeit.

netFish Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 what surprised me that fake were sold for over 400$.... how heavy this coin should be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Should be 31.1g as you mentioned. What makes people spend that much money are ones who either don't do their research thinking it's a bargain or they hope it's genuine.

netFish Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 what catalog do you use for polish coins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Uzdenikov's catalog is more than enough to describe the varieties of this particular type of ruble. I think there were 4 distinct varieties or something. If you can read Russian, here's more to it: http://www.ruscoins.narod.ru/specmon01.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netFish Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 thank you. I can read russian, if you need any translations - let me know. that link is very interesting. You are right, if that coin is real - might cost fortune, may be even more then 10,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
