Catherine II Rouble 1777 CПБ-ΘЛ MS66 PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C76b, Bit-224, Diakov-356. A truly amazing example of this first-year issue of the new 1777-1796 type. The luster is bright, and full, with scattered small patches of gray toning, mostly around the peripheries. The strike is nice, but both sides show low relief typical of this new type. A conditionally rare date, with only a very few Mint State examples certified by NGC and PCGS. This piece is, by far, the finest certified example, with one piece in MS63 being the next finest. This is not only the finest example of the date, it is also the single finest example of the type. For those who desire the finest, you need look no further.
