BRAZIL. 800 Reis, 1844. Rio de Janeiro Mint. Pedro II. PCGS Genuine--Scratch, AU Details.
KM-456; LDMB-P550. Mintage: 628. This handsome low mintage issue exhibits crisp bold devices displaying lovely rich slate patina with a slight iridescent sheen. Close inspection reveals a thin scratch on the obverse from long ago, now toned over matching the rest of the coin, accounts for the details designation. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type that is pleasing to the eye with plenty of underlying luster.
