Description

1641-A French Colonies 15 Deniers. Gadoury-22, Ciani-1710, Breen-272. VF Details-- Environmental Damage (PCGS).

23.8 grains. Medal turn. Dies 2-B. Light silver gray with some pastel blue tones. Quite granular and soft on the obverse, sharper and more pleasing on the reverse. Nicely centered on both sides and retaining full peripheral legends. Some light abrasions are noted at the central obverse. Significantly lighter than most of these, probably a byproduct of ground corrosion. Though the devices are not as crisp as some of his other specimens, Syd recognized this as a different die variety and called it "Obv 2 / Rev B."

PCGS# 829560.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Robert A. Vlack, December 2003.
