I went ahead and split this out on its own.

Cast copy, I'd say. More detailed photos would help, but from the "lumpy" portraits, thick letters, and poor denticles it doesn't look good.

Thanks again. These are the best photos I can do until I have it in hand. It is being shipped. I wasn't as concerned as I should have been because they had other classic commemorative for sale as well-- none really more than $50 in value, in about the same shape. I thought, "surely no one would make forgeries of a bunch of esoteric classic commemorates that they can't sell for more than $50." I might be wrong on that. This was the only coin selling worth anything going to that much trouble for such a small market.   Edited by crazyglue

Yep the reverse seals the deal for me. 100% fake.

Everything is being counterfeited today, I've seen fakes where the original would retail for under $5. There is some fake junk silver out there too apparently. Scary stuff for sure.

Yeah, well I guess there were some clues, like middle of the night auction, low feedback, etc. I'm pretty sure I will get my money back when in hand...not as described, fake, I will open a return, he won't respond, ebay will step in, etc. Still, bummer. |

I'm 100% confident that is a very poor counterfeit. Hopeful that get your money back.

Yes, the better photos pretty much confirm our suspicions.  Live and learn. I do hope the return goes without much trouble. |

Thanks everyone. Update: ebay ruled in my favor and I received a full refund, including shipping. Essentially it was as I thought it would be. I notified the seller it was fake and that I would be happy to send it back, but I don't think I should have to pay to send it back. He never replied. I contacted ebay. They contacted the seller. The seller never replied. They issued me a refund. |

Just going down the thread and when I got to the reverse pic I knew it was fake. Did you get it from Russia by any chance? Seems like a lot are coming from there lately.
