1721-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 2.1-B.2, W-11830. Rarity-4. VF-25 (PCGS). Excellent surface quality and choice light brown color give this piece superior eye appeal for the VF-25 grade. Glossy surfaces are predominantly light chocolate-brown with undertones of maroon primarily on the reverse where the patinas texture is just inoffensively rough. Obverse legend weakly struck at SIT NO, otherwise bold throughout on both sides. A pleasing example of both the date and variety. PCGS# 905871. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Richard Picker, June 13, 1961; Heritages sale of the W. Philip Keller Collection, October 2010, lot 3111.
