- Contemporary Counterfeit 1738-A Sou Marque. In Imitation of Paris Mint. Vlack-340, var. EF-40 (PCGS).
31.6 grains. Differs from the die pairing plated in Vlack, most notably in the wide spacing between the rose and date, as well as the style of the date itself. Here, the digit 3 is large and curved and appears to be punched over a smaller 3 with a flat top. The digits 1 and 8 are also repunched. A well produced piece with good centering and all design elements boldly to sharply rendered. Marbled tobacco-brown and steely-copper patina provides attractive originality. A tiny planchet crack bisects the letter D in DOM on the obverse, the stop in between LUD and XV on the reverse.
Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection.
