RUSSIA 1707 BK LARGE SIZE COPPER 1 KOPEK. EARLY PETER I. NGC XF-45. RARE.

 

Russia, 1707-BK Copper 1 Kopek of early Peter I times.

Variety with dots at 12 o'clock on both sides and dot after date. Uzdennikov-2282, exact variety with dot after the date is unlisted.

Graded as Choice Extremely Fine NGC XF-45 Brown, which is very high grade for this early issue.

It is minted on a very large size flan and is quite impressive in hand.

Uzdennikov in his note 103 specified that "...Kopeks of 1707 ... have flans of different diameter within the limits of one denomination and one weight standard...".

We believe this is the case with this particular coin.

Texts on the coin are well and easily readable and there is not much wear at all.

Rare opportunity to acquire this very historic and very collectible coin.
