This superb gem proof is the finest graded by PCGS and NGC – NGC has graded one example at PF65, two at PF63 and one at PF62. This is an outstanding example of a 1910 proof rouble. It possesses gorgeous scintillating deep reflectivity with beautiful overtones of pink and bluish purple toning on both sides. The surfaces are also absolutely pristine, with an especially smooth cheek on Nicholas's portrait. It is an amazing coin and probably one of the finest known.
