Watch List notes:

RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1909-EB. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-67.

Fr-179; KM-Y-62; Bit-34 (R). This enticing offering of the SCARCE date demonstrates a vivid bright luster that conjures to mind the sun and its sustained fusion of hydrogen into helium which generates photons of light only marginally brighter than this coin reflects. Entirely wholesome with marginal contact, this golden issue is certainly a premium example for the advanced collector of Russian pieces.

Estimate: $600 - $900
