Copper Proof Coins ?

[russia_coins]

There's a coin on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nicholas-II-Kopeek-1902...=item1e5a8e7724

 

 

The highest bid is now 45$... I don't get it. It looks like a usual tzar kopek heavily cleaned. People are crazy.

 

There's another one with 72$ : http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nicholas-II-3-Kopeek-19...=item1e5a8e7ce1

 

Would you buy a coin like that ????

 

I think I would clean some old junk and sell them as proof. Who's interested ?

You even don't need to clean it, just use Photoshop properly

The coins were sold at 59$ for the 1902 kopek in F and 137$ for 1910 3 kopek in XF, both corroded.

Crazy !!!
