Nicholas I copper Proof Pattern 2 Kopecks 1840-СПБ PR65 Red and Brown PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Pn105, Bit-931 (R2), Brekke-165. A superb rendition of this Pattern issue and one usually never encountered this fine, exhibiting a charming cherrywood tone and nary a visual distraction worthy of mention and hardly a trace of weakness detected through the raise features.
