EBay listing. Clearly looks like a fake. What do you think?

    Sakata, I know zilch about Russian coins but other things about the listing tell me to run, don't walk.

    Looks like a typical eastern European replica

    Could be because, the images are from a scanner and not a camera .

    It has "the look" lol. Photo or scan doesn't really change that. But aside from that some details are wrong. This coin in this grade would be over $100k and this variety with signature below the bust is extremely rare.

    Oy! It sure does look extremely "fakey"!

    Mind you, I don't know the type, but this one throws up all kinds of instinctive red flags with me. It just looks ... "off".
