Nicholas I gold Proof "Bare Head" 100 Perpera 1910 Proof Details (Rim Repair) NGC, Vienna mint, KM12, Fr-1. Proof mintage: 25. Bare Head, Facing Right. Despite the reported mintage, we have seen our fair share of these in recent memory, incredibly with two examples alone in this very sale. True to form, every feature rises in clean contrast against its surrounding elements, the regal portrait of Nicholas and crowned arms perfectly rendered against reflective, golden fields. While a rim repair is noted, likely an attempt to fix a rim filing at the base of the bust, we expect this piece to exceed our expectations as popularity for the series rises.
