U.S.S.R. 5 Kopecks 1924 MS65 Red and Brown NGC, KM-Y79, plain edge. An attractively preserved example of this one-year issue. While not exceedingly rare, this type is extremely difficult to encounter with the original mint red remaining, such as is on display with this piece. A similar example in the Sincona collection (part III, lot 1035) brought a hammer of ChF 7,000, offering the same amount of original copper red.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
