RUSSIA. 10 Rubles, 1766-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). NGC AU-55.
Fr-129a; KM-C-79a; Bit-12. Narrow Portrait type. Absolutely stunning quality, this briefly circulated early date 10 Rubles of Catherine II displays a wisp of friction on the high points of the designs, however the fields remain lustrous and without the larger marks that can at times accompany the grade. Vibrant reddish-orange tone pushes this coin into elite territory, giving it eye-appeal that would be tough to rival even in finer grades. As such, a coin that we expect will generate spirited bidding.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
