Rhino Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Recently came across an 1892 1 Rouble coin... looks polished I am pretty sure it's real, feel free to dispute that! What do you think it should be worth? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Still worth a fair bit. Not too sure what variety it is as I don't actively collect it but I've never seen it going under 100USD even if it's cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russia_coins Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 IMHO, this is the 'small head' variety. $100 sounds about right. For this common type I would pay 70-80$, not more. Just yesterday I saw a 1891 rouble in VG sold for 53$ on eBay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candidate Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Possibly fake. Lots of similar looking "worn" fakes emerged recently of roubles 1832-1915, even of most simple years (as 1892 and 1893 of Alexander III). Originated from China, some have "REPLICA" counterstamp, some not. Rather rude; can be distinguished by "not sharp" letters, different shape of figures of date, as well as coin edge (suggestion is to ask a seller to post additional picture of edge), etc. Also, weight usually does not match.

Good chance to compare it's date digits (especially 1 and 8) to first one's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candidate Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 so, this one is a copy ? To my opinion it's very suspicios, very probably a fake; I wouldn't buy it by these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
