lennysky Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just came across this add for 1917 1 Kopek from Ukraine and 7 available. Obviously either a fake or a hoax.Should be removed. Ebay ID 300532541831 very well made if a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay ID 300532541831 very well made if a fake. They also make 20 kopeeks 1917 in Ukraine now. So far I've seen them sell as replicas. Coins look odd, probably cast.

lennysky Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 They do lok odd, but it appears as if they are trying to pass these for an R4 coin. No serious collector would fall for it, but some amatures may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen.moore Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 The seller's description (the fine print) on eBay clearly indicates this specimen is a replica. Caveat emptor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterShell Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 There are whole sets of all 1917 copper for few months... same production. Sold as copies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Great. I hope no one resells them as "novodels" In my early early days I bought some stuff I should not have because it was claimed as a "novodel--copy made for collectors" Which is an accurate description of what these were (copies made for collectors) and an accurate if incomplete definition of "Novodel", but these were not novodels.
