Catherine I 1/4 Rouble 1726-СПБ AU Details (Removed from jewelery) NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Bit-H365 (R3), Diakov-GM26.6 (ER), Sev-777, 10 rub. PETR. Novodel. Milled edge. Incorrectly listed on the holder as Bit-H364, this is the far rarer variety with the edge milled, and is clearly a very early novodel indeed, as the distinctive die-crack seen on most examples on the reverse is only in its preliminary stages of formation on this specimen. Consequently a very select offering, and despite its certification is visually very attractive retaining significant luster over a bold strike.
