RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1846-CNB AT. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I. NGC MS-63.
Fr-155; KM-C-175.1; Bit-27. Variety with "eagle of 1845". The final year of the type for this slightly larger eagle, the present example, yielding immense quality with respect to brilliance and clean surfaces, would appear to be a bit conservatively graded, as it seems to yield a near-Gem allure. As such, a premium-quality piece for the grade assigned.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
