RUSSIA. 5 Ruble, 1839. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I (1825-55). PCGS AU-58 Secure Holder.
Fr-155; C-175.1. A much tougher date than the catalog mintage figure would suggest, and far scarcer than issues from the early 1840s struck a few years later. That said, the example offered shows plenty of mint luster with semi proof-like obverse fields. The reverse looks as if it were struck by a die close to end-of-life, with extensive die cracking exhibited. An interesting coin to explore up close. PCGS AU-58 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $900.00- $1200.00
