RUSSIA. 10 Ruble, 1780-CNB Catherine II (The Great) (1762-96). PCGS FINE-15.
Fr-129b; C-79b, Bit-31, Diakov-401, Severin-325. Evenly worn with warm honey color gold surfaces, immediatley recognizable as a Catherine The Great "Imperial". Probably the most remarkable thing about the coin would be what's missing, as in the total absence of problems. No major marks in spite of the grade, terrific looking rims, and a portrait that still exhibits a dignified effigy of the Tsarina including near complete facial details through the eyes nose and mouth. The reverse shows a bit more wear, but again, remarkably presentable for the assigned grade. For any collection of Russian coinage missing 18th century gold, here's your opportunity to haul in a big one at what might be a very reasonable price compared to a few short years ago. PCGS FINE-15.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
