They look very authentic, but there are several differences between them and the real ones. The seller says they're trial coins. What exactly does that mean?

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 5:54 pm There are a few patterns mentioned in the Krause for Armavir but for 5 rubles there's only aluminum one, not copper. I would be very skeptical about any undocumented "trial" or whatever named coins, especially when big money is involved. (And if big money is not involved here it means it's a humbug.)

Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 5:56 pm The coins in the pic differ from the actual coins a bit in some small details. If they're fakes, they're good fakes. How the heck would he have an "official" trial set for $25? Report this Post to the Staff

Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 9:45 pm That doesn't say much. There are plenty of fools out there. I just want to know what these are. High quality fakes? Report this Post to the Staff
vb3347 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 10:17 pm He just added to the description that they are MODERN trials, not the original 1918 ones. So pretty much fakes... Report this Post to the Staff
Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 10:18 pm Haha, wow, he did add that they are replicas. Report this Post to the Staff
