João V gold 6400 Reis 1750-R MS62+ NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM149, Russo-225. Ultra-satiny fields and near-choice preservation make this coin an enviable specimen for any type collector. If not for some exceedingly light scuffs this example would likely have graded MS63, but even as-is it certainly has the feel of a coin reaching this level. Tied for second-finest certified to-date. Selections from the Paulistana Collection
