Description
1721-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 3.1-B.1, W-11830. Rarity-3. EF-45 (PCGS).
103.2 grains. A wholesome and attractive Choice EF with light steel devices against a backdrop of olive-brown and reddish-tan. Nicely struck from an interesting late state of the dies with lot of tiny die breaks and stress lines on the obverse and to a lesser extent on the reverse as well. The strike was even and fairly well centered so that just about the entirety of the obverse design, and all of the reverse, is on the planchet. Some natural planchet porosity is seen, mostly on the reverse, forgivable and relatively minor for the type. A handsome example for the type or date collector.
PCGS# 905891.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Heritage's October 1990 Long Beach Sale, lot 2; Jeff Rock Collection, September 2006.
