- RUSSIA. Ruble, 1755-CNB RI. St. Petersburg Mint. Elizabeth. PCGS AU-58. Km-C-19b.5; Bit-276; Dav-1679; Diakov-339; Sev-1650. This example is the so called "Scott Ruble" type, based on the obverse engraving which was done by Benjamin Scott. The small bust is indicative of a transitional piece with an different engraver for the obverse and reverse dies. This example of the popular type is seldom encountered at this level of preservation, as PCGS has only ever holdered one example finer than this one. Rose highlights shine through the steely gray color, and much mint luster remains present. This example is free from any major marring or nicks that often plague these large sized silver issues. Only the slightest hint of wear is present on the brow of Elizabeth and the Globulus on the reverse. This example serves as a chance to acquire a phenomenal example of a tough date need to complete the Russian Ruble series. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000. Provenance: From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
