French Colonies 1/2 Sou Marque 1739-P MS66 PCGS, Breen-677, Vlack-309. Struck at Dijon, France, as evidenced by the P mintmark. The 1840 issues of the half sou marque are by far the most often seen, and any of the 1739 issues are rare. This piece is one of just six P-mint examples certified by PCGS (interestingly, all are in Mint State); most survivors are well-worn. Of the six, this example ranks as the very finest, placing it at an elite level for the discerning collector.
