Russia
Nicholas I Rouble 1851 CΠБ-ПA MS62 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C168.1, Bit-228. Highly covetable in this near-choice grade, a phenomenal prooflike texture existing in the fields, a slightly frosty texture about the eagle, suggesting that perhaps a special designation is left wanting. Smoky purple tone further tinges the surfaces, moving towards tangerine at the rims.
