RUSSIA. 1/2 Ruble (Poltina), 1756-CNBIM. Elizabeth (1741-62). PCGS EF-40 Secure Holder.
C-18.4; Bit-328; Dia-399. Mintage of 176,000 pieces, with nearly all lost to attrition many years ago. Of the those remaining, few approach this level of preservation, especially in fully original never-cleaned condition. The catalog value sky-rockets in anything above VF, as nicer examples are nearly non-existent. The coin offered is well made without any planchet problems. Nice smooth fields along with plenty of remaining detail in the portrait and the reverse eagle. An attractive and desirable Russian coin from the reign of Elizabeth. PCGS EF-40 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $900.00- $1200.00
