Portuguese Gold Coins (Around: Joao V ~ 1720 )

And I also found the pdf of the Volume 3 of:
===
Descrição geral e histórica das moedas cunhadas em nome dos reis, regentes e governadores de Portugal
It is here for download: https://dn790006.ca.archive.org/0/i...araguoft.pdf

And a preview page, of the Joao V plate:


That plate is less good visible, I believe it's because they do not have good coins from Goa in Portugal? I don't know, but for me it's good enough to work on.

Thanks a lot folks,

No, I think I have to search for some institutional buyers.
a bank, a sheik, or somebody interested in coins, with a large background.

The auction sites (or the like) they only sell some single pieces every 5-50 years.

===
Associação Numismatica de Portugal (https://anumismatica.pt/ )
has every few months an auction: but gold coins are quite rare, certainly most of their members have already one, or they cannot efford it. Not much sense, to make an auction, if there is only a single buyer.

===
I'm afraid I've found a fortune, but it will take me a even larger fortune to place them in the market + 50 years.

I did take home only few specimens (in my purse): I didn't want to risk to have them confiscated at the customs.
I'm afraid also to get grilled, if they are posted on the internet: who will buy them, later on, if they know, many more will follow, slowly and from the same source?

Well, I would obtain hardly more than the metal price (gold, or silver price), if you'll know, there will be some 50 or 100 pcs. more of the same type later on, coming thru other auction sites.
Therefore: sorry for the moment: no images. Please have some patience, at a later moment I will post pictures of course....

Well, I think I will place for the moment just 1 coin in Portugal, 1 in USA, 1 in France... just to check the price they will give.

I think that's enough for me for a year.... so, if I cannot get "rid off them" over a short period: I'll do it every year.
+ some 10-20 (or 50) of the silver coins ?

I don't need all that money.... shall my heritiers break their mind about it, I think they'll have no problem.
But would be nice to cash everything... so I could still make a few years the party..... well, I'll take it as it goes....

The ANP would not be a good option to place coins. It only provides a place for auctions, the people selling the coins in those auctions are mostly coin dealers. Some collectors also. Small scale.
There should be several dozen collects (me included) interested in that type of coins. But to sell in quantity you will want a dealer.

That as why I suggested you should check around in Lisbon. Talk to the dealers in person. I am not going to write names here in public but there is at least one dealer in Lisbon who can easily buy hundreds of expensive pieces in one go to sell over time. This one I am thinking of also happens to be the most honest one in evaluating coins.
