Watch List notes:

Brazil (Minas mint), 6400 reis, Joao V, 1733-M, extremely rare, clipped and edge re-applied for circulation in the West Indies. Russo-281; Gomes-132.05; KM-135. 13.24 grams. While technically a multi-year type (1727-34), really only the 1733 and 1734 exist, the other dates being unique or unknown, with less than ten specimens known across all the dates and the whole type missing in many iconic old Brazilian collections. Specimens of either date, of which the 1733 is arguably rarer, typically sell for tens of thousands of dollars in any grade. This specimen bears the distinction of being the first known example to have had its edge trimmed down and re-done to circulate in the West Indies, barely noticeable without careful weighing; but clearly the circulation was minimal, as we would grade this coin XF/AU with traces of original luster in legends (great eye-appeal).

Estimate: $10000 - 20000
