Jose I gold 800 Reis 1767-B VF (Altered Surface), Bahia mint, KM180.1, LMB-348, Guimaraes-1767-1.1. 1.99gm. A seldom-seen piece, coveted in any grade, bearing moderately circulated surfaces that evince a harsh cleaning performed long ago, considering the toned fields. With none graded by either NGC or PCGS, the scarcity of such issue is confirmed by it being the sole piece to hit the auction floors in the last 20 years. Ex. Sotheby's (May 1996, Lot 453); UBS Auction 76 (January 2008, Lot 3146) From the Petropolis Collection, Part II
