- Highly Significant 1740-)( Half Sou Marque Believed Unique 1740-)( Half Sou Marque. Besançon Mint. Vlack-328. Rarity-8. AU-50 (PCGS). 16.4 grains. The obverse is off center to 6 o'clock with the mintmark off the flan, but the différents are clear to identify this coin as being from the Besançon Mint. The date is clear, all other features sharp, and the otherwise deep pearl-gray surfaces show rich charcoal-olive outlines to the design elements. A tiny planchet crack just past 12 o'clock relative to the obverse is as made. Described by Syd Martin as, "DISCOVERY COIN, still UNIQUE." Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jeff Rock, September 2006. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 919658. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
