Catherine II 5 Kopecks 1791-EM MS66 Brown NGC, Ekaterinburg mint, KM-C59.3, Bitkin-645. An exceptional example of the type, with bold strike for the issue. The surfaces display only a few tiny flan flaws, with reddish-brown patina over considerable underlying luster. One of the finer examples of this type one might find, with only 4 examples certified in MS66 by NGC, in all dates, and none finer. No date has more than one piece certified in this lofty grade.
