Republic gold 10000 Reis 1903 MS61 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM496, Fr-125, LMB-O698. Another difficult date to encounter, with a listed mintage of just 391 pieces, this charming example is exceedingly lustrous and brilliant, and currently tied with just one other specimen for the finest graded by NGC. That piece realized a hammer of $8,000 in our 2014 NYINC auction (sale 3030, lot 23146).
