(1710-12)-N French Colonies 6 Deniers, or “Sols de Dardennes.” Montpelier Mint. Gadoury-85--Obverse Brockage--AU-58 (PCGS). A fascinating error coin! Mottled mahogany and gold over finely granular surfaces. A bit softly struck at the base of each side, but otherwise crisply defined. A scarce type combined with a rare error was very much in line with Syds taste. PCGS# E1112. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) Saint Ludovico and Firth of Clyde Collections sale, April 2009, lot 1602; Jeff Rock, November 2017.
