Seems an odd coin to fake. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Also, can you please post the weight? Thx.

Very strong possibilities of this being not genuine My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

Voidstudiosjoe New Member Ireland 5 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 08:07 am Thank you, indicators point to that, I just never saw these faked before. I just found the sale and they are a reputable seller, guess I'll test it at some point for curiosity sake. (CDMGNT..Yes these coins from the USSR the 2 does look like a 9 especially with the tarnish) Report this Post to the Staff

Voidstudiosjoe New Member Ireland 5 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 9:50 pm Thanks again, strange that I can't find any other fakes of this one, odd one to fake as the original is not worth much of anything to begin with! Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 06:05 am There are fakes known for these. At one stage when silver prices were absurdly high at $50, these were sold at silver scrap which seemed to be a bargain. At 10 grams ish, they were sold for 18 or so dollars when they were struck in cheap base metal. Good profit for scammers.
