João V gold 1600 Reis 1733-M VF Details (Damaged) NGC, Vila Rica mint, KM125, Russo-270. Decently preserved with even wear throughout, good details still evident and slight tooling evidence on the neck on the obverse accounting for the grade. An elusive type in any grade, quite collectible despite the noted defects - the cataloguer notes that no examples of this date are currently certified by NGC - and with a handsome pedigree. Ex. RLM Collection (Heritage Auctions 9/2013, lot 23993).
Estimate: 1200-1500 USD
