UNLISTED IN VLACK

LOT 69 1757/4-A French Colonies Billon Sou Marque, Overdate 7 over 4, Unlisted in Vlack, PCGS graded AU58 . Frosty light bluish steel with hints of light champagne toning in protected areas. No wear evident on either side but there is a trace of planchet roughness left of the crown and there is a tiny scratch in the field on either side of the L. Nicely centered on the planchet. The partially effaced 4 is evident just right of the 7. This variety is not mentioned in the Vlack reference on the series; undoubtedly rare.

Certification Number 915867.58/45729059
