I'm possibly bidding on this coin because it's really cheap for the condition it's in but the title says russia 5 kopeks fake???? so I'm not sure if it's authentic.

the edge looks very suspicious.

​it's an auction, I don't own this coin.
I don't like the edge reeding. But I'm no specialist...

Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

I told you every Russian coin is faked! ;)
Thanks for all your help, this is actually the first fake that I've seen in finland but the seller did say that it could be fake so it wasn't a scam or anything.
You are fortunate to live in a country where honesty is still the norm. The more I see and hear about Finland the more I like it. I just wish you would all speak English and do something about those awful winters.

​100% of all finnish people must learn english at school it's just the horrible accent that gives people (me) headaches and fortunately I don't speak finglish.

Finland is complete sh** outside the capital region, porvoo and tampere for example if I would have to live in Lohja, Turku or oulu I would becone miserable and depressed.
Being linguistically very dense I'm always most impressed by people from other countries who can speak very fluently. Particularly Scandinavians I've noticed. I have several good friends from Sweden who I've known for many years and I sometimes forget that we are having a conversation in a 2nd language for them.

Despite having lived overseas for much of my adult life I'm still able to do nothing much more than order beer. My princess Abby will be 4 years old next month and is already on her way to being bilingual. She has a Cuban teacher at kindergarten.

Still, I rather live here than in the usa. (just my opinion)
It depends on what you want from life. I find urban lifestyles not at all to my liking and the suburbia scene just isn't for me.

The best thing about America is that it's still relatively free despite the efforts of the past ten or so years. It's also mostly empty as for some reason Americans all seem to want to live in the same places.

I intend to spend my declining years with my loved ones in majestic isolation. No traffic fumes, no constant background noise, street lighting, police sirens and absolutely none of those vile ghetto people. It's still perfectly possible to buy a modest house on a large acreage for much less than in overcrowded Florida. You can find old farmsteads with beautiful mountain views and no neighbors for miles around.

Apart from a monthly ride into town for shopping and a night out it's most unlikely we will see another person from one month to the next. We will homeschool Abby as I don't care much for the US education system. That sounds like paradise to me.
