russia_coins Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 First time I see this kind of fake with right portrait type ! However the edge still as poor as on other chinese roubles. Looks like the edge was copied from a 1913 50 kopek with smaller lettering. Also you can see a obverse defect at 6 o'clock. With 6 hours left the bids are up to $102... Link Seller mur3ik guarantees the authenticity. "Questions and answers about this item Q: Weight and diameter of the coin please? A: 34 mm, 19.86 gram. Dec 13, 2010 Q: please confirm this is NOT a replica coin but a genuine original THanks John D A: Yes, authenticity guaranteed." Anyone want to bid ?

alexbq2 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 As predicted long ago, these Chinese replicas got a second life from dubious dealers in US and Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
