[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3256785, member: 99642"]Thanks for the info TIF. Now what about the other 2 aspects of this that have been raised : Korona? What does that mean? Fake? How can someone tell? I don't buy gold coins and I don't buy ancient coins. The closest I've come to ancient is Russian wire(silver) money, and sometimes I buy lots that have some beat up, impossible to decipher "coins" that I set aside because, for the most part, I only buy Silver. I have very little numismatic interest in the coins I buy, though I've been buying so many for so long that I can't help but learn [I]something[/I] about them, and thus develop even a rudimentary knowledge and understanding of their numismatic place. I posted that small gold coin to CT to simply [I]interact[/I] with the other members. I wasn't interested in it, but perhaps someone else was. I know there are members interested in old coins, ancient or otherwise, and also in gold coins. That particular seller seems to specialize in military, especially bayonets and knives, thus his eBay handle of "smallsword". Having bought from him off and on for years , I have never had a reason to doubt his honesty. Just like many eBay sellers, he will typically buy and then resell anything that will turn a profit. I am not trying rip anyone off and I am not trying to show any one up. I am simply trying to have fun and learn something while I do it. As I often say, "I learn something new every day.".[/QUOTE]
