I disagree. 2 kopek coin would have been overstruck over 2 ore and this is quite scarce. I have only seen pictures of such and have not obtained a...
The figure can be right if and only if the 1991 20 kopek has no mint mark on it. This is extremely scarce to rare.
It is unfortunately a counterfeit. Countefeits can exist pretty much as soon as such coins are released in the public.
I'm a bit at a loss. This particular 2 kopek is known for overstruck over the previous 1755 - 1757 1 kopek. If you look closely at the right side...

I've seen this practice done with 'coins' from Russia and Australia. The most plausible answer that I had from a couple of sellers is that these...
I share everyone's opinion here. This is an excessive rare coin and unless this comes from a known collection, it is very unlikely that such coin...
Crooks try to get away by using the word 'novodel' which is NOT the right termology for it. A novodel is an official restrike by the mint which...
Within the last 10 years or so, essentially any Chinese or Russian coins including low grade coins, including junk coins were on the upward trend....
Hm, I thought I posted a reply but it disappeared on me. Here is an example that I took a while to remember. I thought I didn't have an example...
At this point, ebay doesn't care and the onus goes to the buyers if they have not done their research. Given that there is no 'copyright' claims...
