João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1729/8-R MS61 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, cf. KM140 (overdate unlisted), LMB-195 (same), Gomes-138.05. Notably handsome for the designation, with prominent obverse rims creating a well for watery luster along the peripheral registers. Only the second example of this rare overdate we have handled, with the last, an MS62 and part of the RLM Collection, bringing nearly $20,000 in 2013.
