1670-A 5 Sols. Paris Mint. Martin 2-A, Lecompte-186, Hodder-3, W-11605. Rarity-4 (for type). VF-30 (PCGS). It is a rare occasion when we can offer multiple examples of this normally elusive French Colonial issue in the same sale. This PCGS-certified Choice VF is attractively toned in a blend of silver and dove-gray, wisps of powder blue are also discernible as the surfaces dip into a light. The strike is ideally centered and well executed, moderate wear leaving plenty of bold detail to the major design elements. Free of significant marks or other blemishes, and worthy of the strongest bids.
