This specimen was lot 20233 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Philadelphia, August 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description^[1] noted, "BRAZIL. 6,400 Reis, 1734-R. Rio de Janeiro Mint. Joao V (1706-50). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details Secure Holder. Fr-46; KM-149; LDMB-O209. EXTREMELY RARE as a date and missing from the majority of advanced collections of Brazilian coins. One of only two examples certified, this example displays quite nicely despite a light past cleaning, with detail that is on the cusp of complete over both sides and fields that retain significant amounts of original luster, particularly around the obverse legends and throughout the reverse. Relatively few instances of contact further contribute to the rather wholesome overall appearance. Considering this piece's incredible rarity, a coin that will undoubtedly elevate the status of any collection it enters."
