What do yuo think of this coin ? Does it look fake or not ? I dont have it´s weight because I still dont have in hands... 1 Ruble of Ivan VI de 1741СПÐ'
At first glance, I don't see anything that makes it appear as a fake. However, these are very rare and in that condition very valuable. So from the price (if you're looking into buying it) you could maybe get an idea as to it's authenticity. Does it have a silver ring? Is it magnetic? These will also give you an idea as to it's authenticity, Silver isn't magnetic. Finally weight would further confirm it's authenticity although there are some very good silver fakes out there. What's that going on, on the bust?
If genuine, this a very interesting and valuable coin as in 1742/43 many roubles of Ivan were over-struck with the image of Elisabeth. It should weigh 25.850g.
