Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1910 Posts	Posted 12/16/2024 4:25 pm I enjoyed seeing the recent Russian coins posted and the replies. So I was inspired to post this Siberia coin and ask any experts about what they see? I'm not familiar with coins like this, so I was interested in knowing what others think about the details? What tell-tale signs or smoking guns there may be that points to legit coin or obvious non-authentic piece? Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1062 Posts	Posted 12/16/2024 7:29 pm The coin is made from copper. Yours doesn't look copper, though that could be a trick of the light. The crown on the reverse looks rather dodgy compared to the image on numista. And the animals.... well... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17969.html Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1910 Posts	Posted 12/16/2024 7:55 pm Yes I agree and I noticed how non-brown my images are compared to the coin in hand. I snapped it again for better color Never been very good with a brown coin. Ends up not being so brown at all. This is closer to true. I must have forgotten how to make a photo- can't get the other side to look how it is in hand. And yes I see the animals are pretty far off! Thank you for the online pictures! It's not hard to see plenty of differences when I compare side by side on the album page I'm making. Edited by Albert 12/16/2024 10:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1910 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 01:11 am I suppose the motivation would be the high value I've found online for a genuine piece? I've seen a description as rare and a couple for sale at $1,300 & $3,300 Report this Post to the Staff
