João V gold 12800 Reis 1730-M MS62 NGC, Villa Rica mint, KM139, LMB-0286. An exceptional representative in all regards, possessing vibrant, full-bodied luster that beams from the fields and design motifs that have received an exacting strike, leaving the focal areas deeply impressed and the surrounding denticles in crisp fashion. Falling just short of the Choice classification, but having far more detail than the MS63 example we sold in our 2017 NYINC sale, this coin is worthy of a hammer price that exceeds our value estimation.
