Lot 31131 > Nicholas I platinum 6 Roubles 1829-CПБ AU50 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C178, Bit-55 (R2), Sev-596, Uzd-0386. An extremely elusive first-year issue of this impressive large-denomination type, hailing from a tiny mintage of only 828 pieces and seldom encountered in any state. In fact, the last time we had the privilege of offering an example of this date was over six years ago, an uncertified XF example that realized $23,500 including Buyer's Premium in our April 2013 CICF auction, Lot 25371. This piece is likely even finer, exhibiting even wear on the high points and fields that have yet retained much luster, shining with a delicate glossy texture and imbued with the pleasingly aristocratic silvery-gray color of circulated platinum. Sure to incite strong interest from collectors of rare Imperial Russian coinage.
