RUSSIA. Ruble, 1743-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Elizabeth. PCGS MS-62. Dav-1677; KM-C-19B.4; Bit-254. Exceptionally vibrant and alluring, this nearly-Choice crown dazzles with a strong and fairly well executed strike, with no evidence of toning throughout its wholly argent surfaces. The cartwheel luster stands out from every angle, with tremendous elegance and provocative eye appeal. Furthering its intriguing aspect that much more is some signs of an undertype, with a "41" near the date, likely indicating an issue from two years prior. From the Sigma Collection.
