RUSSIA. 3 Rubles, 1828-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I. PCGS PROOF-64+ Deep Cameo.
Fr-160; KM-C-177; Bit-73. About as alluring and enchanting as is possible to encounter with these oft-problematic platinum strikings, the present piece--residing at the cusp of Gem status--dazzles with extreme mirrored brilliance in the fields and a delightful frosting of the devices. Just two have been certified finer for the date at PCGS.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
