<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 115033, member: 4373&quot;]I seriously doubt if it&#039;s a fake. Probably edges might seem to look &quot;flaked off&quot; which might contribute to the non-genuity, but I believe it&#039;s a genuine. That probably might fail the weight test if the edge is flaked off as it seems here. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a pretty small coin so taking a decent picture of it can be a bit of trouble. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mintage fgure again does not contribute to the final price of such 5 ruble coins. 52k as a mintage figures? But does that include what was melted down or restriked again during the Soviet era? No. Hence, it&#039;s totally meaningless when it comes to find out the extra mintage figure. And 1898 5 ruble is extremely plentiful, in fact, I remember seeing 10 such coins in my local coin store the other day. Price of such coin was around 60USD or so in circulated VF grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, nice find <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
