Can&#039;t even see the C in his photo. It was a good grab&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>there is no confusion here that I admit the coin is real....</p><p><br /></p><p>as far as the melt on the rouble...you are correct....the melt is in the 250 neighborhood....my mistake...I have about (5) 5 rouble slabbed coins...and I remember that when I bought them I calculated melt at around 200....so I doubled it for the 10 rouble.....but gold was around mid 1500&#039;s at that time....</p><p><br /></p><p>but the coin wasnt determined as a fake.....two people question the lettering...one said fake.....looking at it still doesn&#039;t look all that bad....I&#039;m not convinced it&#039;s a fake....which brings up another point....you&#039;re trying to ascertain the authenticity of a coin from a photo.....for a bad fake...it&#039;s easy to see...but since I and probably most here haven&#039;t seen all the fakes like a grader would....you just can&#039;t say for certain if a coin is fake or real from a photograph....</p><p><br /></p><p>you really cant see the luster well on a photo.....some photos are a bit blurry...the lighting is difficult for a coin to show properly.....when you get the coin in hand it doesn&#039;t look a whole lot like the photo.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
