I cannot get to the coin until this Tuesday...is this a good coin, its raw, I would say its XF-XF+, a nicely worn cover with a battle ship gray color

There are quite a few varieties, as well as counterfeits for this series. If authentic, it's easily a $2,000+ coin. Post pics when you get it in-hand.

My first impression is that it might sound too good to be true. Be very careful with these early rouble series - TwoKopeki is right on target with the counterfeit warning. Pics might help determine if it is legitimate.

Sorry about the fake-ness but as an aside note ... always take the opportunity to learn something ... I wouldn't handle coins as you are doing in the last photo. I certainly don't mean any disrespect. But don't put fingerprints on coins that could potentially be worth $2,000. Wear cotton gloves or hold by the rims.
