What's the aproximate value of this 1866 10,000 Reis gold


I have a chance to purchase this coin at auction,but I'm not to sure what to limit my bid as I'm on a tight budget.
Any input is appreciated.

    I think it's a relatively common date (I don't have my Krause here to be sure) and doesn't look uncirculated. I would probably bid about 10-20 percent over melt (the coin has about a quarter ounce of gold). If it's uncirculated or a better date, I'd go higher.

    the AGW of .52 ounces is for the 20,000 reis -- the 10,000 reis is half that. If it's an 1855, you could probably get it for about half the Krause price. image

    Now I've got to correct something, too. If those are the Krause values, I would say don't bid higher than about $125 unless the coin is nicer than it seems in the picture. image
