Hello,
I recently bought a few coins, I suspect this one to be fake. The toning and lettering don't look right to me. But I want to know for sure before I send the whole lot back.

Cita: "harryg"Looks genuine to me. Just heavily worn and corroded. Why anybody would counterfeit such a low value coin is beyond me.https://en.ucoin.net/coin/russia-1-kopek-1833/?cid=59814I hope you are right but I am just not entirely confident that this coins is real. I do admit it looks better on the photo then in real life. Also the lot did contain a low value fake coin, a 1913 15 kopeck which weight 2.83 grams, which as far as I am aware is too much.

My problem with this coin and the others that it indeed looks worn and yet it has very readable letters with less of a patina that I am used to for coins this age.
Here are some more photo's of the coin plus the others that I am not sure about.

Cita: "Grinya"Normal coins....Oh, really that's good to hear, thanks. That only leaves the 2.83 gram 15 kopecks is that one fine as well? Isn't it too heavy and if not then what is the weight tolerance for 15 kopecks?
