João V gold 6400 Reis 1748-B AU58 NGC, Bahia mint, KM151. An immensely satisfying gold offering, far rarer for its production at the Bahia mint, for which the ratio was one coin produced for every ten minted at Rio de Janeiro. Seemingly devoid of any contact marks and only exhibiting light wear. Despite its not achieving a Mint State grade, its lack of nicks and scratches give it stronger eye appeal than some coins graded several points higher. Exceedingly sharp and with a good deal of luster, making it a superb selection of the type.
