Alexander III Rouble 1893-AГ MS64 PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y46, Dav-292, Bit-77. Immensely brilliant and an offering that stands far above average for the type, both in terms of technical preservation and sheer eye appeal. A turn of the wrist unleashes waves of cartwheel luster that roll unimpeded across sleek surfaces, while a sheen of mint frost slides over Alexander's bust to highlight sharp quality and superior in-hand presentation. Only the most trivial, wispy contact hairlines establish the grade designation, leaving this near-gem example only two points from "finest certified" status at PCGS.
