1740-B 1/2 SOU M French Colonies Half Sou Marque, Rouen Mint, Vlack 298, R.3, VF35 NGC. First semester. Die alignment: 180º. A handsome piece, well-preserved with strong details. The obverse has a bit of surface roughness, common on these billon coins, but the silver wash with which these pieces were treated after striking remains fairly bright on this example. A small mark to the left of the crown is noted. The reverse is more muted, but is largely problem-free. This was the only year in which half sou marques were struck in Rouen. Listed on page 55 of the 2018 Guide Book.
Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
