RUSSIA. Ruble, 1723. Red (Moscow) Mint. Peter I (the Great). PCGS MS-62.
KM-162.3; Dav-1658; Bit-885. This handsome Ruble is attractive in character with a firm strike yielding nice design elements that are unafflicted by wear. The surfaces give a somewhat muted appearance, with occasional bright spots of luster and inconsistent and minor friction and contacts consistent with the grade. Rubles of Peter the Great are always far more sought than had in Mint State, and this example should drive such interest.
Estimate: $12000 - $15000
