Post your coins from Brazil

I want to try to scan my Brazil collection to share. To start with, here are my 500 and 1000 reis. Several of these are very low mintage dates that are hard to find.

Date sexy filopino womem? Something wrong with your link.

 

As far as I can tell it works fine. I tried another browser and my phone. Try it again.

 

I was trying to view the photos last night using my tablet. I kept getting a scrolling advertisement at the bottom of the screen. This morning I was able to view without the advertisement using my desk top. I must have a better filter on the desk top. Nice collection. I enjoyed the New Zealand coins also.

 

Thanks. I still have to scan and upload the lower denominations. I've been working on these for a long time.

 

Hidden Dragon: Thank you for sharing your Brazilian coin pictures. You have a beautiful 1924 2000 Reis. It appears on initial observation to be Unc which is rare unto itself.

Too bad there are no Brazilian coins with pictures of Carnival. Here is a link to O Globo - Brazil's largest circulating newspaper (according to my Brazilian cousins)

The Portuguese "Joe" or "Half Joe" was one of the 1700's world trade gold coins.
These were minted at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The coins got the name from "Johannes", the coin name of the king.


Portugal Gold 6400 Reis "Half Joe" 1738, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Gold, 31mm, 14.06gm, John V


Portugal Gold 6400 Reis "Half Joe" 1786, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Gold, 31mm, 14.33gm, Maria I and Peter III
Peter was Queen Maria's husband and her uncle.

 

Thanks. I'm especially proud of the 1932 and 1935 500 reis and the 1930 and 1932 1000 reis, which are both really low mintage.

 

Here in Brazil the price of these coins is raising quickly!

 

Here's my BBASIL 1.000 Réis of 1922, it's a bit scarce. The 500 Réis BBASIL is very difficult to find!

 

Giovanni: Thank you for starting this thread and adding to the overall knowledge.

I am curious that you state coin prices are rising in Brasil. As you are undoubtedly aware, the economy is not that great and the Real itself has depreciated against both the USD and Euro.

I was recently cycling through Portugal, a country with a deteriorating economy as well. The dealers I met (three - two in Lisbon and one in Coimbra) noted that sales were off with the exception of coins from the Portuguese monarchy.

Is there a particular class of Brazilian coins that are holding up in the Brazilian economic environment? Up here in the north, I do not see much inventory at shows or in auctions.

 

The dealers are always complaining about the sales, still they are raising the prices. I don't buy anything that I think that's above the fair price, anyway the beginners are paying a lot of money for fairly common coins. There's a huge speculation in certain pieces with an mintage that is bellow the average. Some pieces that are becoming more and more expensive:
500 Réis 1932 - used to cost about 50 reais and now you can find big dealers selling it for 600 (mint. of 34.214)
1 and 5 centavos - used to cost about 1 real or less each, now you see some dealers selling each one for more than 60 reais (Mint. of about 1 million for each value)
1 Real 1998 (Direitos Humanos - Human rights) a few years ago you could easily find it for 30 reais, nowadays you will need to spend at least 50 to get one (Mint. of 600.000 - it's still in circulation, so if you are very lucky you may find one in your change)

 

Let me add to the discussion since I entered in numismatics very recently. From my perspective brazilians coins were and still are very cheap. For example here you can buy a beautiful silver coin from the 19 century, with less than 100,000 mintage for the price of a pizza (100 reais). The reason for that is the low number of collectors in the country, which is understandable since it is still a poor country. And people without education or food dont give any importance to coins. These scenario have changed in the last 10 years and there is a lot of new collectors. But for a 200 million plus people country is almost negligible. I invested a very small part of my savings on silver coins and I am still amazed with the quality and raritie of the coin I was able to put together. Not to mention the satisfaction in collect this beauties it is a very very long term investment. I think brazilian coins a really a bargain. Regards

 

I can't speak to the conditions in Brazil but this explains a reason why I got into Brazilian coins originally. It is a country that is getting wealthier and I feel like someday the coins will be in much higher demand. I'm trying to scoop them up while I can.

This is a quite scarce piece of my collection:
20 Réis 1889 struck over imperial 20 Réis

 

Thanks. That one is 1826.

 

Interesting thread.

I've liked Brazilian coins for many years and always pick up BU coins when I see them cheap.

It's good to see there's finally some interest developing in the coins.
