Nicholas II gold Proof 10 Roubles 1903-AP PR65 Cameo PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y64, Fr-179, Bitkin-11. Exquisitely lustrous and exceedingly rare, this gorgeous proof issue possesses rich, frosted devices and blazing mirrored fields free from any distracting marks, so much so that a grade higher than its current gem status is certainly understandable. The few proof strikings of this issue which have sold over the past few years have garnered considerable interest in the marketplace, with prices realizing $26,000 and €27,000 for the Stack's Bowers & Ponterio ANA 2016 and Kunker 244 (February 2014) specimens, respectively. In each of these cases, the coins were graded PR65 Cameo PCGS.
Estimate: 20000-30000 USD
