RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1878-CNB HO. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander II. NGC MS-63.
Fr-163; KM-Y-B26; Bit-27. Exceptionally alluring and dazzling, this specimen offers a very vibrant cartwheel nature to the luster and a light golden-yellow hue throughout. Given the extreme lack of contact or friction, this example would seemingly be a bit conservatively graded and, as such, would be a premium quality piece for the grade assigned.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
