RW Julian 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 This seller, shifaragallery, is in Estonia but obtained a Chinese fake to sell. His starting price is $990, about $989 more than it is worth. There is no return for this item and the seller has even blocked questions. In my opinion a seller to avoid. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574633083&toolid=10001&campid=5335826004&customid=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&icep_item=290537119765 These fakes are easy to spot because the Chinese counterfeiters were too lazy to make any changes to the reverse die except for the date. There is a whole range of Moscow roubles, 1742–1755, using this same reverse. This fraud has been reported to eBay but it is unlikely that anything will be done. shifaragallery is an eBay “top-rated seller." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
