João V gold 12800 Reis 1732-M MS63 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM139, LMB-288. One must marvel at this type when found at the upper echelons of the near-uncirculated grades. In a choice level of preservation the appeal amplifies tremendously, something that this conditionally rarity manages to accomplish with absolute grace and a simply luxurious appearance. Upon rotation golden luster sweeps the fields, highlighting and amplifying the portrait of João V, which stands in high relief from a bold strike, framed by equally impressive legends. A simply commendable offering, one very rarely encountered, and an opportunity that must be seized by collectors of the Brazilian series and South American gold alike.
