1801-CNB年俄罗斯1卢布银样币。圣彼得堡铸币厂。右倾圆点饰边。极为罕见而且魅力十足的后铸样币。品相几无敌手,只有寥寥数枚同版,此币于1979年被名家收藏。窑藏包浆风韵十足,呈枪灰及品红色,混合丝丝缕缕钴蓝、赤红及金黄。底板光芒闪烁,亚历山大的头颈似乎要从保存甚佳的币坯上一跃而出。无论状态、罕有程度还是故事性均令人著迷。
RUSSIA. Silver Ruble Pattern Novodel, ND (1801)-CNB. St. Petersburg (Banking) Mint. Alexander I. PCGS SPECIMEN-61.Bit-H636 (R2, this coin cited). Edge engrailed right. An INCREDIBLY RARE and captivating specimen, this pattern novodel is virtually unrivaled, with just a few other representatives of the type known. Offering a tantalizing pedigree dating back to 1979, it displays a melange of cabinet toning that is composed of gunmetal gray and magenta, with some enchanting hues of cobalt, crimson, and goldenrod sprinkled in. Meanwhile, some glistening brilliance emerges from the protected areas, with Alexanders long neck and portrait seemingly leaping forth from the well preserved planchet. For the most advanced collector of these numismatic treasures, the overall quality, RARITY, and storied past in auction should undoubtedly captivate and wholly excite.From the Sigma Collection.Ex: Coins & Medals 50 (4/2008) Lot # 228 (@ ₽3,000,000 [~$128,000 at the time]).Ex: Russian Classics Collection (Superior - 1/2004) Lot # 5131 (@ $25,300 total and graded NGC MS-62 Prooflike).Ex: Irving Goodman Collection (Superior - 2/1991) Lot # 702 (@ $6,600 and as AU).Ex: Spink 23 (6/1987) Lot # 793 (@ ChF 5,500 and as AU).Ex: Bobrinsky Collection (El Dorado Coin Galleries 5 - 2/1985) Lot # 241.Ex: Christies (6/1979) Lot # 88 (@ £1,800 and as XF).
