<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2783445, member: 42034&quot;]Actually I like the earlier 200 reis nickel series.&nbsp; I think these ran from 1871 to 1900.&nbsp; My son picked up a worn 1871 for around $14 during the Street fair which is held every Saturday in center city Sao Paulo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding a 1935 500 reis, it catalogs $17 in VF and $50 in unc, so I&#039;d guess you won&#039;t see them in major auctions.&nbsp; However if you go to Brazil I&#039;ll bet you can find one easily enough in a coin shop.&nbsp; I should point out that I&#039;m a member of the SNB, Sao Paulo chapter, but live in the US.</p><p>The 1935 500 reis was minted during an inflationary era, soon the reis would be replaced by the cruzeiro after almost 300 years in circulation.</p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_cointalk/J3_Brail-coin_pt1_600px.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_cointalk/J3_Brail-coin_pt2_450px.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
