mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 6:49 pm To my eyes, it looks genuine to me, but the person who graded it to me was a wee bit too high on the grading of it. I would grade it around AU or so. So still a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 10:19 pm Be very careful! This is the biggest scam in Russia right now. I was recently watching Moscow 24 News on youtube and they did a investigation on large number of shysters doing business in fake coins/coin scams. They specialize in Russian imperial coins. Moscow is swamped with them and they are not silver. This is in Russian, but you can see for yourself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Yo_mY8RGY?t=268 That ebay seller is selling thousand dollar coins for a song along with ancient rings, medals, all commonly faked items in that market and has a nice pretty picture as her seller icon. "She's" been a seller since September 2020! It all screams scam. I'd stay away. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7934 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 08:00 am ebay is full of sellers from this part of the world with fake thaler sized (and other large silver) coins. Some of them admit in the listing that it is not an original coin, but not this one. Low feedback and a high proportion of these types in their stock is definitely a red flag.
