DAJ Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi - This 1722 is currently listed on eBAY. It appears to me that this is either Bitkin 497, 498, or 835. Version with star above head. I contacted the seller and suggested it is not authentic. He is very nice. Thoughts on this? Best.

ViFi Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi, this is 2 Roubles Novodel of Peter I coin, Bitkin 3742 (R2). This type of coins is rare and only exist as Novodel, never have been in circulation, only as trial . But it looks very strange for me that this coin is in so bad condition for a coin, which never have been in circulation? Although it looks similar to genuine I have serieus doubts about this. You may have a look here on examples of this coin https://www.m-dv.ru/catalog/id,4809/prohod.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigistenz Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Agreed. Contours should be sharp. Note: Seller does not accept returns. Keep away. Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterrSmall Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 The most shocking of this is the price they're asking for this coin. $1,255? In Russia you can get it for $100 even if not less. And it's very suspicious you know...seems to be a scam, but I"m not sure. Anyway, I wouldn't even get a coin for such a price. I've recently found a good collection of old Serbian/Bosnian coins for the similar price and it was like 20 coins in the collection. I had to wait for a long time to get them because the shipping from Serbia was pretty long. But I used the tracking china post services to watch my order, so I wasn't afraid of it being stolen somewhere. Arrived yesterday...and I'm very happy!
