RUSSIA. 10 Kopek (Grivennik), 1803-CNB-AH. Alexander I (1801-25). PCGS EF-45 Gold Shield.
KM-C119; Bit-62; Sev-2527. A noted rarity from early in the reign of Alexander I, with a scant original mintage of only 40,003 pieces that has resulted in very few survivors. This example, far better detailed than most, displays meandering gray tone on both sides and subtle granularity in the fields that helps determines the grade. Missing from most serious collections, thus marking an exciting opportunity for the dedicated specialist.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
