- RUSSIA. Poltina (1/2 Ruble), 1798-CN OM. St. Petersburg Mint. Paul I. NGC EF Details--Harshly Cleaned. KM-C-99.2; Bit-49 (R3). Die rotated 45 degrees. A premier RARITY of the Russian series, this piece is so elusive that it was missing from the famed collection of the Grand Duke Mikhailovich. There is no escaping the harsh cleaning that this Poltina has suffered, with all traces of original luster being stripped. In addition there is some tooling to be seen on the obverse. Despite these flaws, chances to acquire examples of this date and mint master initials combination are few and far between. The reverse die is rotated 45 degrees relative to the obverse, adding an intrigue to the piece. A piece that is not to be missed, and one worthy of strong bids from the many advanced collectors of Russian pieces. Estimate: $15,000 - $30,000. Provenance: From the Sigma Collection.
