Description
1722-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 2.21-D.7, W-11840. Rarity-5. EF-40 (PCGS).
89.7 grains. Mottled tan-brown and steel with some brick-red patina on each side as well. A sharp, well centered piece with some granular surface texture that for the most part appears to be natural to the planchet. A fine scratch in the left obverse field is the only mark to note. Bold detail that is only light worn and more than sufficient for the EF grade level. This variety is the only use of the Martin 2.21 obverse whereas the workhorse D.7 reverse is found in combination with three other obverse dies.
PCGS# 905883.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Gary Paretti (Long Island Numismatics), June 2008. Obverse plated in the Martin reference "French Coinage Specifically for Colonial America," p. 222.
