This specimen was lot 75640 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2023), where it sold for $810. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA. Kopek, 1902-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-65 Brown. Delightful dark chocolate patina is punctuated by a brilliant flash when the coin is held at certain angles to the light. Consistent surfaces are incredibly appealing, clearly the result of many years of miraculous preservation in some former collector's set." Despite the large mintage, this issue is tied with 1871 as the key date. Most must have been melted. In 1914, Russia plunged into World War One, which conflict would lead to the destruction of the regime.
Recorded mintage: 20,000,000.
Specification: 3.3 g, copper, 21.6 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-Y9.2.
