<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Willner, post: 339219, member: 11144&quot;]Thank you all for a very enlightening discussion. I&#039;m now concerned about the 3 - 4 coins I got on eBay at reasonable prices, even though they were pretty common 10-15-20 kopecks. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think this is a question of common date, as the coin Y#58.2 is the only 50 kopeck minted in 1914. Mine is definitely is worse condition, and though I got it through a local dealer rather then eBay I&#039;m wondering if it is fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>But this thread has helped me pick up some key information:</p><p><br /></p><p>- No, there is no other 1914 50 kopeck not listed in Krause that I am not aware of.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Yes, it is entirely possible for a coin listed in Krause at $70 in UNC to be going for hundreds of dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Yes, it is important to be cautious buying Russian (and probably other) coins on eBay due to the flood of fakes offered there.</p><p><br /></p><p>- It never hurts to ask the seller: by the way, he responded very nicely referring me to a similar coin in MS63 condition that auctioned for $1200!</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thanks for all the discussion on this.</p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
