Nicholas I platinum Proof 3 Roubles 1828-CПБ PR65+ Deep Cameo PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C177, Bit-73 (R1). Immense reflectivity is showcased within the fields and the raised double-headed eagle and reverse designs are boldly contrasted with eye-catching frost. Close inspection reveals essentially no evidence of handling to the unaided eye and as a result, this example is undoubtedly among the finest to exist. As the premier date for this vastly popular platinum series, and the world's first coinage to use this precious metal, this outstanding Gem is not only a showpiece of exceptional beauty, but represents an incredibly meaningful event in numismatic history.
