Russia: Nicholas II silver Proof 5 Kopecks 1904 CПБ-AP PR62

Nicholas II silver Proof 5 Kopecks 1904 CПБ-AP PR62 NGC, St._x000D_ Petersburg mint. Bitkin-181 (R4), KM-Y59a.1, mintage of 10 pieces,_x000D_ all in Proof. Obv. Crowned double-headed Imperial eagle with orb_x000D_ and scepter. Crowned date and value in wreath. Sharply struck, with_x000D_ fully mirrored fields. Minor hairlines are noted, with a_x000D_ slightly rough reverse rim. An amazing rarity and the only example_x000D_ certified by NGC, and PCGS, combined. We can find no record of sale_x000D_ since Aurea's sale of the Prokop Collection in 2002, Lot 383, and_x000D_ that piece was a well-circulated example. This date was missing_x000D_ from the famous Irving Goodman Collection, sold by Superior_x000D_ Galleries in 1991. Undoubtedly, one of the great rarities of_x000D_ twentieth century Russian numismatics.
