RUSSIA. Ruble, 1857-CNB OB. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander II. PCGS MS-61 Prooflike Gold Shield. KM-C-168.1; Bit-47. Surpassed in the PCGS census by only three examples (just one of which bears the prooflike designation), this charming specimen features frosted devices and highly mirrored surfaces. Some scattered hairlines are noted, but are wholly consistent with the grade level.
