Nicholas I Proof 10 Kopecks 1833 CПБ-НГ PR63 Cameo PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, cf. KM-C164.1 (not listed in Proof), Bit-348, Sev-1008, Uzd-1553, Kaim-209. An issue of instantly appreciable status, Russian Proofs of the 19th century consistently rank among the most covetable coins of the entire series. Though documentation of Proof strikings has, historically, been relatively poor within Russian numismatic scholarship, survey of auction records and the certified population brings into clear focus just how rare such issues are. Across NGC and PCGS, only twenty-six 10 Kopecks of Nicholas I have been recognized in this finish, just one other being from the same date as this piece, with those two coins standing as the only 1833 Proof 10 Kopecks to come to auction in decades, and neither stemming from a famous collection such as Goodman or Soedermann. This very example, in fact, previously brought $5,760 in our September 2017 Long Beach sale. With only a scattering of wisps to preclude a finer designation, the offering appears strikingly sharp anddeeply mirrored, a steel battleship-gray patina lending a visual depth to the fields tinged by russet peripheral tones.
