Alexander I copper Pattern Novodel 2 Kopecks 1805-KM SP65 Brown PCGS, Suzun mint, Bit-H434 (R2), Brekke-90. An extremely lustrous gem novodel issue, featuring rich brown surfaces and an underlying iridescence. A quality seemingly impossible to improve upon. An NGC MS64 in the 2014 New York Sale realized a hammer of $2,000, and despite the single point difference in grade, in the opinion of this cataloger, the present specimen is far superior to that coin. Tremendous eye-appeal.
