    When I see this 200 Reis it seems to be in F to VF and even the occasional XF one runs across are not that nice looking (talking raw coins here).

    This coin is deserving of a higher Krause value than $25 but the stratospheric price of $85.99 is probably due to the MS66 grade-you could look for a while and not find one as nice. $35 to $60 would probably cover your MS60 to MS63 coin-I suspect this collector probably buys a lot of US coins.

    That one did quite well!image

    Brazillian coins were such slow sellers that I swore off them unless they knocked my socks off. This was the first "no socks" Brazil coin that came along. I probably would have just kept it in my "too cool to sell" box if I wasn't trying to raise money for the Long Beach coin show in a couple of weeks.

    I'm sure the new owner will like it. With a little prompting he/she may even reveal themselves here.

    There's a big difference between UNC and NGC certified MS66; if that were a Morgan dollar the price difference would be 100 times more.

  • You know, the darkside is just amazing. Imagine what a US coin of that vintage/condition would cost!
