Russia
Catherine II gold 10 Roubles 1766-CПБ AU58 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C79a, Petrov-21 Rub., Bit-12 (R). Narrow bust variety. A type whose rarity in full uncirculated grades is well known to collectors, and as such, one which comes highly contested in better states of preservation. Admitting only light friction atop the higher portions of the design, which already come softly struck, the surfaces possess a pervasive luster which strengthens towards the margins. Presently the finest we have offered, outranking the Newman example by a full 5 grade points.
Ex. Galerie des Monnaies (June 1976, Lot 227)
