An Extremely Rare Platinum Russian Coin Graded by PCGS

PCGS_SocialMedia

For Russian numismatics there are many rarities and highly desirable coins. In a recent submission that came into the PCGS Europe office in Paris, a coin was submitted that meets many “dream” categories for those who study Russian numismatics, including rarity, desirability, pedigree, and condition. This coin was a Russia 1845 СПБ Platinum 6 Rubles from the famous Hutten-Czapski and Georgy Mikhailovich Collections.

The Hutten-Czapski pedigree is one of the most famous pedigrees for Russian and Polish coinage. This exceptional coin was first offered for sale by Adolph Hess with the sale of the Grand Duke Georgy Mikhailovich sale in October 1939. Upon its submission to PCGS in 2021, it was certified and graded PR65DCAM and received a unique spec number for the coin’s collector counterstamp for the Hutten-Czapski collection.

No, the collector's mark appears to be in a different location.

that's the plated image from the 1939 Adolph Hess auction so IMHO should be the same
