alexbq2 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is a pretty scarce coin, but within the last 2 months this is the fourth coin that I see on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160836744840 What's surprising is that they are all in that state, which is strange for a coin that did not spend much time in circulation. Here's another one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320912181665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 The first one is a beater, and not sure. But the second one looks like a cast, notice the area above the a in "goda". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Here are the other 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261031553891 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=320909665788 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 But the second one looks like a cast, notice the area above the a in "goda". I would agree with that, and most likely my suspicions were raised to the other 3 coins because this one showed up first. But I find this influx of low quality 1916 coins very strange.

alexbq2 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Number 5: 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=290738429923 Note the coin is once again in a very poor state.

one-kuna Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 both, razdolb and butkowski sell suspicios coins, the first one in this post seems original to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterShell Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't belive in such a miracles( how many 1916 he has?)..and "Bunkowski" is known for selling fakes .. about "razdolb" - he has coins from the ground (most of what he is selling) so who knows..much more possible that it was genuine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 One of the coins appears to be back on the market: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290830176195 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I saw these fakes on molotok as well, a few months ago. Made in Ukraine I believe... I'd be very careful. The date is still far from perfect, you can still tell the fake and a real thing apart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
