Coin Collecting NewsHeritage Offers Russian Coins
By Numismaster
Heritage Auction Galleries’ September Long Beach auction of world coins holds an offering of Russian coins and medals, led by a proof example of the 1836 1-1/2 Family ruble.
The coin features the portrait of Nicholas I on the obverse, while the reverse features eight smaller cameos of the imperial family: the bust of Empress Alexandra in the center, surrounded by busts of the royal children with no circles.
The sale will be held Sept. 25-26 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
“The post-1800 Russian rubles are extremely desirable in today’s market, especially the ultra rare family pieces,” said Heritage world coin director Warren Tucker.
