Description

France. 1720-T 1/3 Ecu. Nantes Mint. Gadoury-305. AU-58 (PCGS).

127.0 grains. No visible undertype. Exceptionally lustrous, especially for this grade, with beautiful old toning of pale blue and gold. The peripheries show extensive evidence of planchet adjustment on both sides, but all legends are visible and plain. A really lovely piece from one of the scarcer mints.

PCGS# 253206.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena’s) sale of Important Properties of the Massachusetts Historical Society, November 1994, lot 3062; ex Jeff Rock, October 2008.
