João Prince Regent gold 4000 Reis 1808-(R) MS62 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM235.2, LMB-568. For a coin of this appearance, one can essentially disregard the certified grade, for its appeal is obviously beyond a technical designation. Its fields firmly prooflike, gloriously reflective with strong die-polish lines, its strike extremely bold and definitive; but, perhaps most notable, the planchet has toned to a brilliant, blazing red giving the most startling visual effect that this relatively unreactive metal can give. An undeniably beautiful offering, of unbeatable quality.
