Lot description:


RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1909-(EB). St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-65.
Fr-180; KM-Y-62; Bit-34. A lovely Gem example of this SCARCE later date in the series, featuring jewel-like luster and clean fields. Faint as-made roller marks appear on the portrait-a leftover effect of the process of the rolling of the gold alloy into flat sheets prior to the punching out of the planchets, and extremely typical for this denomination. These likely limited the grade on this piece from higher, as otherwise the surfaces are quite exceptional.

Estimate: $1500 - $2000
