Russia 1914-SP BC 10 kopeks

Sincona sale 77, lot 3062

This specimen was lot 3062 in Sincona sale 77 (Zürich, May 2022), where it sold for 350 CHF (about US$425 including buyer's fees). The catalog description^[1] noted, "RUSSIA | Russian Empire and Federation | Nicholas II. 1894-1917. 10 Kopecks 1914, St. Petersburg Mint, WS. Rare in this condition. NGC PF61 CAMEO." This type is listed for 1867-1914. The nineteenth century dates are scarce in nice condition but the later dates are common with, of course, the exception of the proofs. This particular example is marred by an obverse scratch.

Recorded mintage: 51,250,000.

Specification: 1.8 g, 0.500 fine silver, .028 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: KM Y20a.2, Bitkin 167.
