RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1901-AP. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-67. Fr-180; KM-Y-62; Bit-28. Tied with just two others for the top spot in the NCG census, this resounding, exceedingly attractive specimen dazzles with immense brilliance and majestic luster, all while a sharp strike and appealing golden-yellow color accentuate that much more. Undoubtedly a remarkable example from the opening year of the 20th century and from the reign of Russias final czar.
