RUSSIA. Bronze-Nickel 10 Kopeks Pattern, 1871. Brussels Mint. Alexander II. NGC PROOF-62.
KM-Pn137; Bit-608 (R3). Fairly RARE, especially when encountered this attractive and brilliant, the present specimen yields a slate gray overall hue, with a great deal of mirrored luster radiating among the fields. Part of a series of pattern 10 Kopeks struck in Brussels and under Alexander II, but featuring the bust and name of Alexander I instead. Incorrectly labeled on the holder as KM-Pn139.
Ex: Markov 8 (1/2004) Lot # 832.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
