Lot 5366
RUSSIA. 5 Kopecks, 1765-EM. B-206B. Novodel. Edge-5. Catherine II. Very Rare. Too large for slab; with ticket. This is a magnificent, huge copper coin! Glossy brown surfaces with rosy-red luster fading but evident in the centers. The strike is bold, the rims high and unblemished. Additionally, a hint of bluish iridescence gives an added dimension of appeal to this glorious piece. NGC graded MS-66 Red and Brown.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
