1742-H Sou Marque. La Rochelle Mint. Vlack-98, var. EF-40 (PCGS).

31.0 grains. While Vlack (2004) observes that, "Genuine specimens [of the 1742-H] examined had no stops before and after the star different," this is a genuine example that does have these design elements. It is otherwise quite unlike the Vlack-358 contemporary counterfeit in detail and overall fabric.

PCGS# 158611. NGC ID: BBLP.
