Jose I gold 1000 Reis 1752-(L) MS68 NGC, Lisbon mint, KM162.1, LMB-300, Gomes-58.02. Assigned a nearly unfathomable, virtually pristine designation one would expect from a modern issue and likely set aside or lost soon after creation, a fact confirmed by the sheer paucity of distracting marks even under magnification from a scrupulous eye. A razor-sharp strike coupled with an omnipresent satiny sheen contribute to the clearly superior aesthetic caliber of the coin at hand, and with only a single example across the entire denomination finer by a half-point between both grading services, we anticipate placement likely in the advanced cabinet of a quality and conditionally-minded collector.
