Sincona sale 78, lot 585

This specimen was lot 585 in Sincona sale 78 (Zurich, October 2022), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA | Russian Empire and Federation | Nicholas II. 1894-1917, 10 Kopecks 1909, St. Petersburg Mint, SPB EB. Bitkin 135. PCGS MS65." This type is listed for 1867-1914. Most dates are common with, of course, the exception of the proofs. This particular mintmaster issued regular circulation strikes 1906-12 and proofs only in 1913 whereas mintmaster BC is noted for 1912-17. In 1914, Russia plunged into World War One, which conflict would lead to the destruction of the regime.

Recorded mintage: 25,290,000.

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

Catalog reference: KM Y20a.2, Bitkin 185.
