1713-AA French Colonies 15 Deniers, or Demi-Mousquetaire. Metz Mint. Vlack-14--Struck 15% Off Center--AU-53 (PCGS). 14.9 grains. Lustrous light silver gray and medium gray over finely granular surfaces. Notably misstruck toward 1 o’clock, relative to the obverse. Some marks are seen on the right side of the central obverse, significant roughness is present at centers of both sides. The planchet texture outside of the die edge is instructive and useful to study. An interesting and scarce error in this series. PCGS# 158681. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jeff Rock Collection, September 2006.
