RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1826-CNB NA. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I. NGC MS-60. Fr-154; KM-C-174; Bit-1. The first year of issue, this example is exceeded in the NGC census by just two other Mint State specimens. With tremendous luster and vibrancy, and no real signs of wear, this flashy piece certainly catches the eye, though the types of scuffs and marks expected for the designation are apparent.
