<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2492740, member: 42034&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; For me the most important, and expensive of the coins is the 1897 Brazilian 2000 reis.&nbsp; I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and am a member of the Brazilian Numismatic Group here and for the past 2 years have just been beating my head against the wall trying to find a decent one.&nbsp; Yes, I&#039;ve seen all 3 dates here locally (1891,96, &amp; 97) but no true uncs w/o problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other coin, well, I&#039;m a BSA merit badge counselor and I enjoy having coins which look good in displays which people see.&nbsp; I also have the website [which is broken at present ] for coinsandhistory.&nbsp; So I&#039;ve been aware of these for a while, but they tend to be a little hard to find.&nbsp; I think due to the Brexit and/or the details label this piece sold cheaply.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also Stacks had someone (Vicken Y.) look at the coins for me over the phone and describe problems &amp; stuff.&nbsp; I will no longer buy slabs without someone good giving me an actual description of the pieces.&nbsp; This is particularly true with foreign, where the grading services are &quot;less experienced&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
