RUSSIA. Ruble. 1721-K Kadashevsky Mint (Moscow). Peter I (The Great) (1689-1725). NGC AU-58.KM-157.5; Bit-488; Dia-21; UZD-599. Type with "POCIN" legend error on the obverse. Tied with three others for finest seen at the grading services. Faint touch of wear seen in the laurel/leaves of the portrait and feathers of the eagle, with no marks or abrasions in the fields. Just enough tone to knock out most of the luster, but with such a sharp strike all other considerations are secondary. In fact, it's so well struck that the portrait has medallic-like high relief qualities to it. A very impressive specimen. Another example graded Choice Extremely Fine hammered for $7,500 at Baldwin's 2007 sale as lot #1022. Ours is considerably nicer.Estimate: $4,000 - $5,000.NGC AU-58.
