gxseries Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Not genuine. Details are too crude even if it's in low grade - characters just look too cartoonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihai Zaharencu. is it possible to know from where did you buy it and how much did you pay ? there are a lot of fakes around, especially of poltine and roubles ancient ... on the other hand ... sorry, but to produce such a scrap of counterfeited coin .... is it worth?

mihaizaha Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I was in Bucharest,Romania, there was "colectors market"and i went.The seller was from Bulgaria,he asked for it 60 euros. I paid and i did some research on line (the only catalog that i got wasn t with me)i realized is one of the rarest coin of that kind.Than i knew is to good.I went back after gxseries respond to me.The guy give my money back and thats it. He was having a lot of others coins ex:5 kop. 1802,1812 commemorative ruble...all i ll gues fake. Mihai Zaharencu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 For 60 euros, please, please buy a catalog before making any further moves. I still use Uzdenikov 2nd edition - I know a fair number of collectors will say no but for it's price, it is a good deal. Another story if you want to specialize in a certain era but if you look at the pictures more than hundred of times, it will give you a better idea to at least avoid some of the cruder counterfeits.

I have seen so many roubles original reaching incredible prices that I would rather avoid purchases like that you did. Anyway, for that money is better to invest in some good Kopeck of Ekaterina from 1700's at least you can find pieces in very good conditions and when you plan to resell you find the buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
