If it is genuine, do expect to pay at least 6000USD, not any less. For the price of 150USD, you are getting an extremely good counterfeit like this one that I have: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/901761.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That does seem perfect doesn&#039;t it? Did it pass the weight test? Yes it did. It weights exactly the same as a normal ruble would. Did it pass the dimension test? Yes it did. Same dimension as a normal ruble. Now you know how scary the level of counterfeit is. Restrikes of Gangut rubles are relatively rare and these too easily go over several thousands of dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
