Russia 1764 MM Catherine the Great 5 Kopecks C-59.6 XF Overstrike. Scarce. The overstrike area is on the left wreath. To say this coin is a rarity is the understatement. I have been a collector of Russian coins for over 30 years and never saw but a few of these. I have a very large collection of the large 5 kopeks and numerous examples and dates for EM, AM, and KM mints. But the MM and CM 5 kopeks, I have only a few examples and they were the best I ran across. I am sure there are others which are better but I never saw them. And most of the MM and CM 5 kopeks I did see looked like they were run over by a tractor, maybe a couple of times. The Russians tended to use their dies after they were worn and the coins minted were marginal at best. NGC prices this coin at $245 in XF. Obviously, they never went out and tried to find one. They have always been scarce.
