RUSSIA. Ruble, 1776-CNB RY. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). ANACS AU-58. Dav-1684; KM-C-67a.2; Bit-221. An ever-popular date, this example presents little in the way of actual handling, with a great, wholesome appearance and largely untoned, steely gray surfaces. Just a hint of darker color is noted in a few isolated areas on each side.
