RUSSIA. Poltina (1/2 Ruble), 1743-MMA. Moscow Mint. Elizabeth. NGC AU-53.KM-C-18.1; Bit-143. Choice quality, and perhaps a bit conservatively graded, with strong luster in the fields and almost no discernible wear atop the most raised portions of the design. A natural planchet clip appears around 11 oclock on the obverse, but does not interfere with any portions of the design.
