RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1827-CNB NA. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I. NGC AU-58.
Fr-154; KM-C-174; Bit-2. The second finest certified of the date on the NGC population report, with the only one finer being just above it at MS-61. An EXTREMELY RARE date and the key to the series with an unknown mintage, this handsome survivor exhibits semi-prooflike luster in the protected areas, which offer much flash and reflectivity, while the open fields are a bit more subdued. Upon inspection, the surfaces show light signs of handling consistent for the grade, with an overall enchanting character to this wholesome piece. Seldom are examples of this date encountered, with auctions records indicating only fourteen appearances of different pieces since 1910. Rather accordingly, the chance to acquire such an awesome RARITY occurs infrequently and should be given serious consideration from advanced collectors.

Estimate: $35000.00- $45000.00
