RUSSIA. Gold 10 Rubles Novodel, 1756-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Elizabeth I. NGC MS-63.Fr-Unlisted (though cf. Fr-122 for regular issue); KM-Unlisted (though cf. KM-C-28.2 for regular issue); Bit-H76 (R3). Weight: 16.81 gms. This stunning RARITY almost lacks words to describe its majesty and splendor, as the present piece is exceedingly alluring and provocative. The surfaces glow with a soft sunny glimmer, with more forceful pools of luster in the recesses and crevices. Unblighted by handling or cleaning as occasionally plagues Novodels, the heights to which this 10 Rubles could soar are no doubt extremely difficult to predict, though they should be quite lofty and monumental.Ex: Rothschild-Piatigorsky Collection (Stacks Bowers 1/2024) Lot #54306. <p>Ex: Art Trading Company, New York City (bt. ca. 1940/50s); with tag.
