RUSSIA. Ruble, 1739. Moscow (Red) Mint. Anna. PCGS MS-64. Dav-1674; KM-198; Bit-204. Type with five pearls in hair. Just short of Gem status, this shimmering and glistening example features an alluring strike and radiates with seemingly unending lustrous brilliance. Meanwhile, this stunning argent crown is wholly without tone, further tantalizing the gaze of the viewer. Not surprisingly, this represents the finest by far for the date in the PCGS census. From the Sigma Collection.
