Message:: [QUOTE="nubktobk, post: 1744169, member: 20629"]Hi all, I am new to this forum  but I do participate in other forums and found this fake coin thread very interesting as my step-dad inherited a collection and I was put in charge of it. In it I have found a number of fakes and 1 I am dealing with is a 1831 3 rouble platinum russian coin. I have original invoice for it and it shows the purchase price was $1400 in 1997. The company that sold it to her is still in business and thru my dealings with them to get a refund thier response was that I found a fake coin and was trying to exhort thier company by trying to get a refund on a fake coin I had bought and keep the original. They also went on to say they have never ever sold a fake coin before.My question I need help on is there other avenues I can persue being 14 years ago and change of custody of coin?What is the best way to find out if it is really platinum, as it weighs 10.4 grams and melt alone would recoup a good portion of price paid?And if this coin is something a counterfiet collector would be interested in?Also I know I have other old gold coins with some paper work with them and I am getting the same run around from them companies too. It seems my step-dad's mom got caught up in the coin scams some companies were running, preying on the eldery that were living alone.Thanks for all your advise and replies in advance!!! Nub[/QUOTE]
