bobh Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 The coin looks very suspicious. Maybe it is a fake? Or is it a defect of issue? 1902 must be the most common date of all 5 rouble coins of Nicholas II. You can get one in very nice condition every day of the year for reasonable money. Why bother with this one if you don't like it? That being said, there are fakes of just about every Russian coin, even common ones such as this one. I don't see anything strange about it, but pictures are not in great focus. What does the coin weigh? Does the edge have the correct mintmaster initials on it -- (A.P) --?

Candidate Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 The coin looks authentic, but bobh is 100% right: if any suspicion - better simply pass by and buy another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
