RUSSIA. Ruble, 1721-K (in old Cyrillic). Moscow (Kadashevsky) Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC Unc Details--Cleaned.
Dav-1655; KM-157.5; Bit-440. An incredibly well detailed example, this Ruble demonstrates surfaces that avoid all trace of wearing on the design elements. The brightness of the coin is unnatural, and confirms the cleaned designation that NGC has applied to this example. Despite this, this piece retains much attractivity, as it avoids the harsh friction that often accompanies cleaning. A strong example of the type, despite the flaws, and as such we still expect much competition for this example. To view all items from the Sigma Collection, click here.
