I was on ebay recently, and noticed a set of 6 gold 100 rouble coins that I wanted to purchase. However, I began to wonder how often these could be faked, since I came across this other promoted listing which obviously contains reproduction or plated coins. https://www.ebay.com/itm/set-of-6-c...202476?hash=item1cc5d5b96c:g:q6oAAOSwmDBb0geY So if the set that I am planning to buy looks like this, is it legitimate? I thought it would be because of the Cert. of Authenticity, and other papers corresponding to the coins. @Siberian Man, I would appreciate your help.
Weight andadensity wouldwbe the telling factor. Looks like a picture of a real set, then non-proof gold-plated fakes in the later pics. If the price is too good, then... Also, the seller is in Russia, which is a red flag, just like one from China. These are fakes.
No, the set at bottom is a different no reserve auction. The 6 coins for $30 are obviously fake- I was talking about my suspicions on the higher priced set at bottom.
This listing and seller appear to be legitimate: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ussr-Russi...c-Gold-Set-with-Box-COA-SKU-7148/292973176576. I'd say, make an offer and see if the seller accepts. This listing would be exempt from sales tax as well.
