Almost mint and with that darkened grey screwpost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I can't say for sure, as I'm not the best with fakes, but this one looks very much like one that I was duped with (based on crappy photos, but luckily I got my money back easily!) about a year ago. It was a REAL Lenin... just it was formerly a hanging version that had been converted very nicely to a screwback version. The back was likewise almost mint and very pebbled (like this one) as the original reverse had been carefully eaten away and a new reverse was "carved" from the original. It looked REALLY good, but it was... fake....Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Here's a photo of the reverse of the one that I owned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Here's a real one (with PMD cert) Note the heavier numbers, and the "flat" line above the reverse N vice the light numbers and the curved line of the fake one.Looking at the two, I'd say that the one in the eBay auction is fake.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were it real, it probably would have brought at least another $1000 on eBay. It's rare to find a "bargain" on a high-end award (or even on any award just about!) on eBay.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanirvine Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 FYI,A couple of people that we know, one a dealer, did bid on this piece though.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
