Nicholas I Proof Rouble 1852 CПБ-ПA PR64 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C168.1, Dav-283, Bit-229. A stunning near-gem, this extraordinary piece--extremely rare as a proof striking--exhibits deeply toned and mirrored surfaces, along with enchanting devices displaying hints of burgundy and seafoam green. Only a few, very slight friction marks are present, and do nothing to distract the gaze of the viewer. Surely worthy of a great deal of focus and attention, as well as a premium bid. For comparison, an NGC PR64 Cameo realized a hammer of €7,500 in March 2013.
