Nicholas II gold "Narrow Rim" 15 Roubles 1897-AГ MS64 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y65.2, Fr-177, Bit-2. A conditional rarity and tied for the finest certified example at NGC with essentially pristine fields that emit attractive, glowing luster and motifs that maintain a satiny gleam. Without the aid of magnification, only a single mark can be seen on Nicholas' portrait, leaving one to question just how close the current coin came to being awarded the Gem grade. The finest example of the Narrow Rim variety that we have offered and sure to see competitive bidding.
