RUSSIA. Ruble, 1886-AT. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander III. PCGS PROOF-64+ Gold Shield.
Dav-292; KM-Y-46; Bit-60. Large Head type. RARE in proof format, this example has been impressively preserved as well, displaying undiminished mirror-like qualities in the fields, razor-sharp detailing on the designs, and only a few instances of past contact which surely prevented an even higher grade. Vibrant orange, blue, and mauve toning highlights on both sides contribute mightily to the appearance too, and undoubtedly place this piece in elite company. As such, strong competition for this beauty is all but assured.
Estimate: $15000 - $30000
