Title: Very weird coin on ebay Post by: EgCollector on September 02, 2012, 04:24:42 AM Hi all,
Was searching ebay and i found this auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-Danger-Great-White-Shark-1-Oz-silver-Tuvalu-1-russian-/200813780331?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item2ec16f1d6b#ht_575wt_932 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-Danger-Great-White-Shark-1-Oz-silver-Tuvalu-1-russian-/200813780331?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item2ec16f1d6b#ht_575wt_932) He stated in the title "Tuvalu 1$ russian"!!!!!!!!! See the starting bid for that coin!! If this is true silver ... i guess he is taking so much risk of getting it sold under spot! and please read the description .....

It's a reproduction of the original. A similar thing was done with the coins listed below. Mintage figures for these reproductions are limited to 2000, supposedly Commissioned by a Russian Dealer, but still minted at the Perth Mint. Some people who missed out on the original will buy a reproduction and usually pay a mighty high price for it too.
