Catherine II Polupoltinnik (1/4 Rouble) 1781 CПБ-AГ MS65 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Bitkin-332, KM-C65b. Obv. Crowned, and draped, bust of Catherine II right. Rev. Crowned double-headed eagle with date and value. A truly stunning example of this pre-1800 1/4 Rouble. The surfaces shimmer with fully brilliant luster. The strike is nice for the issue, with small areas of softness on the reverse. No significant flaws are noted. The overall appearance is quite spectacular and one might think the grade is a bit conservative for this amazing example.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
