RUSSIA. Ruble, 1727-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine I. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details Gold Shield.
Dav-1666; KM-177.3; Bit-185. High Coiffure type. This highly collectible example of this seldom encountered type offers a strong strike, bold devices and smooth surfaces displaying a thin layer of mottled tone. Several small nicely blended scratches on the reverse below the crown on the left side above the eagles head must account for the details designation as this cataloger is unable to find anything else of significance using a 10x loupe. Despite its shortcomings a handsome representative of the type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $2500.00- $3500.00
