Nicholas II gold 5 Roubles 1902-AP MS68 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y62, Fr-180, Bit-29. A sensational and near-perfect jewel whose surfaces betray almost no flaws, however minor, to speak of. A subtle turn in hand unleashes waves of golden luster, confirming a peak level of preservation that proves elusive for virtually all vintage coins, and certainly one exceeding 100 years in age. Tied for the finest certified by NGC out of over 17,000 seen to date, with not a single example at PCGS reaching this lofty conditional tier.
