This thread is highly suspect to me. This person has never been on here and their first post is to analyze a coin that turned out to be fake? Is this person a counterfeit seller trying to see if a product he owns can fool coin collectors?
After he "found out" it was fake, he wants to know the value? That doesn't make sense to me. Something doesn't seem right about this person.

Seems like a routine inquiry about an "old coin", no reason to suspect ill intent at this point. This is an obvious counterfeit to any experienced collector but not necessarily to a novice.
Almost certainly not silver so no bullion value. Worth whatever someone will pay for it but I wouldn't buy it at any price. A golfer could always use it as a ball marker.

Joey, the OP may have purchased the coin for $1 as a US coin and wants to know if he/she got ripped off.

Obviously counterfeit in so many ways, already mentioned.
We have lots of first or new posters asking about the most obvious fakes that many of us have seen dozens (or hundreds) of times. No reason to suspect them.

Joey I see many many first posts on here that are asking about fake coins. I think his follow up question about value is normal especially if he purchased it. jaxy  Edited by scopru

Sorry for your loss. Not a real US coin, btw. Only value is as a conversation piece.

This one is known as the oriental fake. It's worth less than ten cents.
It looks a lot like my Pavel I coronation ruble.

See lot of fakes look like this. I think these are Eastern European in origin as I see this specific type of fake a lot on ebay from Russia, Latvia, etc. |
