Nicholas I gold 5 Roubles 1841 CПБ-AЧ MS64 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C175.1, Fr-155, Bit-19. Semi-Prooflike fields share the surfaces with crisp devices, along with some evidence of quality control issues on the reverse, standard for the type. A small spot of vermillion and aqua sits quietly in the center of the obverse, endowing the piece with personality. Affordable at this near-gem state of preservation, as NGC's census thins out significantly in higher grades.
