DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 3:28 pm Do you mean the "10 Ruble" in that auction? Yeah.I can spot some differences between a real 10 Ruble and that coin- anyone else? So here's a comparison: Real 1899 10 Ruble obverse: The coin in question (admittedly a lousy pic) Big differences between the rim, denticles, size and position of legends, to name a few things. If the details don't match, then I doubt it's gold either. Report this Post to the Staff

hc8604 Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 4:18 pm Seems interesting that the seller does not mention the gold coin. If real, he is going to miss out on some bidders since this coins has about 1/4 of an ounce of gold IIRC. I do have the same coin, but mine was cleaned though. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's the cynic in me thinking: the seller seeds this lot of avg Russian coins with one bogus gold 10R coin. He makes no claims here--but collectors might spot that and say "Aha! I'm going to get a great deal" and high bids ensue. The seller may be completely innocent, knows exactly what he's doing, or somewhere in between. Without a inspection/return policy, the risk is on the buyer. Report this Post to the Staff
