Russia 5 Kopecks 1838 СМ - Novodel - Nicholas I (1825-1855)
22.68g. UNC/UNC. Vibrant and fully original mint red and brown surfaces shimmer with bold cartwheel luster across both sides. The copper is exceptionally well preserved, with no signs of oxidation or handling, retaining a rich, natural glow. Design elements are sharply struck and boldly rendered, standing out with superb clarity against the smooth, slightly reflective fields. Lightly prooflike in appearance, with outstanding eye appeal. A truly choice copper specimen, seldom encountered in such an untouched and attractive state. Bitkin 680 R2. Extremely rare.
