- A Second Bourges Mint Half Sou Marque Rarity Vlack-321; "None reported" 1742-Y Half Sou Marque. Bourges Mint. Vlack-321. Rarity-9. AU-53 (PCGS). 16.5 grains. Lovely fully silvered surfaces with mottled rose and antique gold patina to dominant pewter-gray. The impression is drawn trivially to the upper obverse, lower reverse, detail a bit soft in those areas, although most major design elements are discernible, if not bold. The sole exception is the final digit in the date, which is weak and partially obscured due to a flan flaw in that area. Syd Martin considered this coin the unique survivor from a mintage of 10,192 pieces for the 1742-P half sou marque. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jeff Rock, April 2011.
