RUSSIA. Soviet Union. Copper 10 Kopeks Pattern, 1921. Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-65 Brown.
cf. KM-Y-80 (for regular issue). The only example of the type in the PCGS census, this VERY RARE off-metal pattern striking presents a great deal of lustrous brilliance and a sharp strike, along with a rich red-brown hue that almost takes upon an orangish nature. Meanwhile, a muted brilliance glistens throughout, making this an incredibly attractive and desirable piece among the increasingly popular early issues of the Soviet Union.
Estimate: $6000 - $8000
