RUSSIA. Bronze-Nickel-Zinc 10 Kopeks Pattern, 1871. Brussels Mint. Alexander II. NGC PROOF-64.
KM-Pn135; Bit-H610 (this coin cited). Presenting glistening brilliance and a near-mirror sheen, this RARITY also offers a great, rather majestic pedigree, as it emanates from the Goodman Collection. Some minor streaks from the alloy are noted, but rather consistent for the type. 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-Pn137.
Ex: Triton IX (1/2006) Lot # 2183.
Ex: Irving Goodman Collection (Superior - 2/1991) Lot # 1283.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
