Rossica Certificates for forgeries
I was surprised when I spotted this among a lot of the current Raritan auction - which also contains several obvious forgeries (e.g. the news
magazine).
The 35 Goldkopeck is a very crude forgery and the 50k looks wrong too. Who did these certificates? Back then Ray was still active and would not do
such mistakes.

According to a 1996 issue of the Rossica Journal, the Expertization Committee's contact persons were Gary Combs and Leon Finik. This signature doesn't
look like "Gary Combs".
