João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1729-R MS62 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM140, LMB-195. A rare and impressively sized golden issue, its heft often leading to the same detractions experienced by all large gold coins--bagmarks, heavy wear and cleaning. Accordingly, the present piece is remarkable for lacking all of these characteristics, firmly situated in Mint State and certainly bordering on choice. João's portrait is as bold as can be for its somewhat shallow engraving, fully lit by light-catching mint luster; the reverse shield exhibits its usual striking weakness to the highest points of the design but otherwise is actually more fully defined than usual for the type. Very hard to come by in as high a grade as this, and a must-have for the quality-conscious collector of Brazilian coinage.
