Russian Duchy. Nicholas II gold 10 Markkaa 1905-L MS66 NGC, KM8.2, Fr-6. With a very low mintage of 43,000 this is a key date within the 10 Markkaa series, and is a sight to behold. Every precise detail stands out prominently indicative of a well-executed strike, backlit by gleaming mirrorlike fields and a slight frosty luster. An example graded MS65 NGC realized $2,800 hammer in our auction 3049 in September 2016, and we expect even greater excitement over this higher certified Gem example.
