    scottishmoney Buh bye

    Unfortunately the Cyrillic characters and the numerals look mushy - like it was cast in some lower grade metal and then plated.

    I don't think it's real, it just don't look as defined as it should. Ok, had a better look, looks mushy especially the letters on the reverse. Also, the L looking thing on the right side of the date is really supposed to look more like a J. good luck anyways!!

    THe exact weight and dimensions would help.


    If all the other coins in the lot were junk it's not a good sign, but first off, determine if it is gold.

    Even if it is fake, there could be some gold in there.

    It has characteristics of a cast coin but would need it in hand to examine. Well, do all the normal things: weigh it and do a gold scratch test.
