I compared the obverse with a picture of same item in Bitkin catalog - not even close. On the other hand there are lots of people there who think this thing costs over $2500 for now and "reserve not met" yet. The seller states clearly that this is just an old Russian "paperweight". By the look of it the seller is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the look of it the seller is correct. too many people want sestroretsk ruble, however they need to understand that copy/fake cannot cost so much, even this one is from recent auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 1 ton of copper = $9,840 today (don't know if this is a metric ton or not). So this paperweight should cost about $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
