Hey guys, need your opinion on this coin:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-rouble-19...em519c0abe8f

It looks legit, but these coins are so rare and expensive that I want to be sure. Any thoughts as to its authenticity?

Not genuine in my opinion. Font is too fat from what I have seen and details looks off.

Looking at it very closely, it does look fake. The toes on the eagle don't look anything like in KM. Also, the alignment seems off.

Can we get an expert?

Not an expert but I'd certainly agree with you. The claws and the feathers on the wings don't match.

Krause is no good when it comes down to such regional coinage. You need to get Bitkin.

Give omnicoin.com a shot and search for Armavir. Those coins there should be genuine.
