<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1869675, member: 4373&quot;]There is a valid reason for concern for those who don&#039;t really appericate the value of this particular coin. This if it is in XF+ condition can pull over 300 - 400 dollars or even more as it is not a common coin. You need to remember that around 1942, Leningrad was under siege by the Germans and therefore coins from 1942 are rather scarce (with the exception of 1942 20 kopek). </p><p><br /></p><p>There are some extremely high grade counterfeits coming from Belarus. Coins that were once thought to be common are heavily counterfeited such as the Russian-German 1916 occupation coinage. NGC and PCGS got stuck pretty hard by these counterfeits. These unfortunately are some of the highest grades in the market and were sold at some ridicious figures. High grade counterfeit Soviet coins unfortunately do exist and this may or may not be one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, this particular coin MUST be greeted with skeptism especially in this particular condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
