Description
1721-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 3.3-B.8, W-11830. Rarity-2. AU-50 (PCGS).
101.4 grains. Frosty reddish chocolate-brown surfaces display exceptional detail and little to no wear. Some fine porosity covers much of each side but this was natural to the planchet pre-strike. There are no contact marks or environmental damage to report and it's clear this coin saw little circulation and has been well preserved over its three-century-long life. Well centered, off just slightly to 12 o'clock relative to the obverse but hardly any detail is off the planchet. A noteworthy example of the date and variety as well as the overall type considering all 9 deniers are scarce at the AU grade level and virtually unheard of fully Uncirculated.
PCGS# 905892.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Wade Hinderling, July 30, 2008 at the Baltimore ANA Show.
