Elizabeth gold 10 Roubles 1757-CПБ MS62 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C28.2, Bit-77 (R1), Petrov-50 Rub., Sev-225, Diakov-417 (R3). Obliquely milled edge. A stunning example of this gold multiple Rouble type, graced with a pulsating watery luster that takes on something akin to a Prooflike quality throughout both the obverse and reverse surfaces. The quality of the offering is both indisputable and immediately sensed in hand, the semi-reflective radiance giving clear indication as to its Mint State condition and leaving no doubt regarding its immense conditional rarity. Struck on a slightly out-of-round flan, with the devices uniformly chiseled to admirable precision, only gentle handling-induced hairlines in the fields serving to keep the assigned grade from what would most assuredly otherwise be untold heights. Truly superb.
