Lot 1052
Lot 31052 > João V gold 4000 Reis 1709-R MS64 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM102, LMB-176. By far the finer of just two certified examples within NGC's database, none seen by PCGS. The obverse has been marvelously struck with only one small area of weakness where an adjustment mark created a groove; the remainder is absolutely needle-sharp with abundant mint luster. The reverse is somewhat softer with evidence of double striking but nonetheless remains strong for issue. An unbeatable Brazilian near-gem.
