Description

Pedro II 320 Reis 1702-P VF35 NGC, Pernambuco mint, KM89.2, LMB-146, Bentes-79.07. A choice example for this type and date, with most issues coming to market with obvious surface defects typical of the series. The current specimen is the sole inhabitant of the NGC population report, with only a small handful coming to market, ungraded, in the last decade. This piece, sporting a pleasing and accurate mid-grade designation, boasts appreciable, uniformly slate-gray surfaces washing over lightly struck features, the most prominent weaknesses seen to the crown and the letters "RV" of "PETRVS." The surprising level of preservation on this early emission coupled with its general aesthetic appearance contribute heavily to desirability of this offering, which is surely to cause significant interest and spirited bidding.
