[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2227912, member: 4373"]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 appear out of nowhere. The reason why you don't see the mint mark spb is because this was struck in Poland. This is why you see the letter MW on the reverse. What bothered me the most is the letter 'R'. (The flipped over r). It just has the strange swiggy line which I have never seen anywhere else. Numismat has mentioned it - it might be struck in real gold. Personally if you struggle to reason with the owner, I guess while we do our best to eliminate the easy counterfeits, ultimately we are not the experts. If he can't trust TPG with their vast resources and knowledge, nothing can help him.[/QUOTE]
