RUSSIA. Ruble, 1913-EB. St. Petersburg Mint. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield.KM-Y-59.3; Bit-67. Mintage: 22,000. One of the strongKEY DATES /strongto the Nicholas II ruble series, this impressive crown features stunning steel gray surfaces and a great deal of underlying brilliance. Seemingly a bit conservatively graded, as the distinct lack of contact marks would lead one to place this higher than merely a near choice status. Nevertheless, even at this level, just three have been graded finer by PCGS. A premium quality coin and one which possesses pleasing eye appeal.
