Pedro II 800 Reis 1838 MS64 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM456, LMB-547, Bentes-578.02. A scant mintage of only 497 pieces, with the present example the single finest certified. Near-Gem in all regards, and wholly attractive, demonstrating a semi-Prooflike obverse decorated with reflective steel-blue fields tinged by notable peach, amber, and mottled magenta undertones. This beauty occupied the top spot in the census when we last offered it in 2021 and now, over three years later, it still reigns supreme. Ex.
