Description
1722-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 2.30-D.6, W-11840. Rarity-7. VF-30 (PCGS).
78.7 grains. A choice piece of what seems to be a very rare die variety. Syd recorded just two examples, both in his collection, the other being a VG. This is a lovely VF with smooth, problem-free surfaces and full, well balanced detail. Attractive light brown color, the obverse milk chocolate and the reverse a light silvery-tan. A premium quality specimen worthy of a strong bid.
PCGS# 905888.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, November 2012 Baltimore Auction, lot 6273. Plated in the Martin reference "French Coinage Specifically For Colonial America," pp. 240, 388.
