Description

1722/1-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 2.3-C.9, W-11835. Rarity-4. VF-30 (PCGS).

Struck on a planchet that had some areas of fine natural porosity to begin with but otherwise this is a problem-free coin. Medium brown surfaces with just a handful of minor marks on the reverse. Strong detail for the grade, the obverse legend weakly struck only at DOM and the centering is very respectable. Bold reverse definition and the surface is smooth around the date allowing for close study and easy viewing of the overdate aspect of this die.

PCGS# 905872.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Richard Picker, April 30, 1961; Heritage's sale of the W. Philip Keller Collection, October 2010, lot 3115.
