BRAZIL. 1000 Reis, 1909. Rio de Janeiro Mint. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, AU Details Gold Shield.
KM-507; LDMB-P694. Variety with inverted "S" in denomination. A somewhat sneaky variety, this RARE issue seldom appears on the market and is usually in less than desirable conditions. The strike is bold as would be expected being a product of 20th Century minting practices with an intricate expressive portrait. The surfaces exhibit signs of handling consistent for the grade, though a small area in and around the first "0" of 1000 shows several small scratches as indicated on the PCGS insert as "Tooled" long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings a handsome and presentable example of the type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Ex: Norweb Collection.
Estimate: $1200 - $1600
