This seller becomes even more suspicious when you look at his recent negative. Apparently
he sent a registered letter to Germany to "pay" for a coin that was empty, then tried to claim
the seller "ripped him off".

He claims to have inherited it from his grandfather, who bought it 60 years
ago. It is claimed to be a novodel."
He also claims that it is a restrike of a "Reichel." Coincidentally, there is
(was recently?) an exhibit of Jacob Reichel's works in the Hermitage in St.
Petersburg.
