gxseries Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 If you are bidding on any of them from these sellers, make sure you seek advice. Chances are you are better off winning the lottery instead of getting a random piece of metal (questionable "silver") http://www.ebay.com/sch/coins-coinshops/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692 http://www.ebay.com/sch/supermarketcoinsshop/m.html?_nkw=&_trksid=p3692&_ipg=25&_from=&_armrs=1 http://www.ebay.com/sch/worldcoinsboutiqueshops/m.html?item=171541908250&rt=nc&pt=US_World_Coins&LH_Complete=1&hash=item27f0b1cb1a\ There's more but this is a head start.

extant4cell Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 There are always lots of fake coins sellers. I stopped chasing them as a dog tired of chasing its tail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Is this really a fake? http://www.ebay.com/itm/171543259718 I don't see anything questionable about this coin either: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171543510129 Gxseries, what is the source of your concern?

gxseries Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 These sellers are getting smarter. They will blend in genuine coins in their sales to believe that they have a hoard of "decent" coins. Take for instance some of the coins he / she has sold. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1733-Russia-1-Rouble-Ruble-Silver-Coin-/171543261659?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item27f0c671db&nma=true&si=daG8O16p%252BPu%252B45seD4UZzFbHHtM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-Russia-USSR-Coin-/171543281474?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item27f0c6bf42&nma=true&si=daG8O16p%252BPu%252B45seD4UZzFbHHtM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1946-Russia-USSR-Coin-15-Kopeks-/171543274811?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item27f0c6a53b&nma=true&si=daG8O16p%252BPu%252B45seD4UZzFbHHtM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 And then a very similar Spitsbergen coin is sold by this seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russia-USSR-coin-15-kopeks-1946/131359733367?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25214%26meid%3D6aba2749550047efab62b6c1d4cfad67%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D10628%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D171543274811 Here are a couple of articles with regards to the counterfeits. I know this is not Russian numismatics but there's no reason to suggest why it cannot be applied to other coinage. https://registry.ngccoin.hk/news/article/3996/world-coins-counterfeit-cuba-1915-silver-peso/ https://registry.ngccoin.hk/news/article/3945/world-coins-counterfeit-china-east-hopei-1937-chiao/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
