A beautiful example of a very scarce issue!

Is it yours, BKB? If so, then congratulations on such a worthy acquisition for your collection!

Thank you. Too bad it is not a recent acquisition :-( Cannot get anything of the sort lately. It was always my goal to find a 1712 with this eagle paired with a portrait with no broch. I think that coin is the cutest one of 1712's. I guess the goal became an impossible dream at these prices.

We have a similar situation and a similar problem.

Here is my Slavic date 1707. I had a dream to get an Arabic date 1707 as its companion but that is now out of my reach because of pricing.

On the other hand, your slavic date 1707 is amazing!!! I only saw novodels of this quality. I personally would like to get 1707 with a small head. :-)

Thank you.

Gorny sold this one last year (not to me ).

sadly, not to me either.

Here is one with arabic date.

The other side

It is also the rare revised portrait type without the hair ribbon. And a wonderful example of it as well!

This one is yours, correct? It is a collector's prize.

Yes, it is mine. From the good old days.
Here is the one with ribbon. Some weekness in the middle of the eagle, but still pleasant.

The other side:

That is an excellent set.

Beautiful and rare. Congrats. Impossible to afford nowdays. I only wish that we can withstand the pressure of the rising prices and hold on to our collections.

Great Rubles.

Guys,
