João V gold 6400 Reis 1750-B MS66+ NGC, Bahia mint, KM151, LMB-O150. An absolutely immaculate survivor of this final year João V date, with intense radiance remaining in the fields and surfaces that show nary a mark or instance of improper handling. Perhaps most impressive for this Bahia mint issue however is the strike, crisply imparted over both sides, with full detail in João's hair and noticeably upset rims that boldly segment the denticles and make an eye-appealing frame for the rest of the coin. The definite remnants of a 4 under the 5 in the date (an overdate that goes without mention in the catalogs we've seen) furthers the impressiveness of this premium Gem. The finest example we've encountered of the date by a large margin, and for the Brazilian collector by date or type, an absolute prize.
Estimate: 6000-9000 USD
