Maria I & Pedro III gold 3200 Reis 1783-B VF Details (Cleaned) NGC, Bahia mint, KM150, LMB-478. 'B' to far right after date beneath jugate busts. An exceptionally scarce type, hardly ever found from this rarer mint. Despite the certification, the surfaces of this example exhibit deep honey luster with a lemon-gold ring at the peripheries, highly original surfaces with limited evidence of cleaning. Besides some loss of detail to Maria and Pedro's foreheads, the detail on this piece remains strong, and the eye appeal considerable. The last example of this type we handled, graded VF35, sold at our September 2013 Long Beach sale for a hammer price of $12,000.
