Jose I gold 1600 Reis 1763-R XF Details (Polished) NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM181.2, Russo-411. Slightly burnished surfaces account for the designation, but a wholesome and well detailed representative of this rare 3-year type, blatantly undervalued in KM and often encountered in impaired or damaged condition. A decent and above average representative of this very elusive issue, eminently collectible as such. A VF-XF e- jewelry example with shaved edges hammered at $3,000 in our 9/2011 auction (lot 23661).From The Santa Catarina Collection of Brazilian Gold Coins
Estimate: 5000-6000 USD
