Лот 31281. Paul I gold 5 Roubles 1798 CM-ФЦ MS62 NGC, Suzun mint, KM-C104.1, Fr-144, Bit-1 (R). A fleeting issue that we've only handled a single time before in substantially lesser quality than witnessed here. Decidedly Mint State and on the verge of a Choice designation, the offering at hand is immediately radiant and dressed with abundant flash. Despite grade-defining wisps located to both faces, the recesses remain well protected and serve to uplift the overall visual character. Of those currently certified between both grading services, which number at 17, only three rank finer, topping out at MS65, making this an opportunity not to be passed up by the discerning Russian collector.
