João V gold 12800 Reis 1730-M MS63 NGC, Villa Rica mint, KM139. Noticeably choice throughout, with sharp detailing observed across the bust of João V and boldly rendered denticles viewed on both sides-characteristics that solidify the Choice designation. The presence of original mint luster aided by subtle amber color at the peripheries further elevates eye appeal, and while grade-aligning flecks are witnessed in the fields-their sum remains a trivial consequence to the piece as a whole. Among two other examples in this penultimate certification at NGC, and highly worthy of collector interest.
