1767-A French Colonies Sou with RF Counterstamp, MS62 Brown PCGS

1767-A 9DEN French Colonies Copper Sou, RF Counterstamp MS62 Brown PCGS. Breen-701. This issue was minted for the French Caribbean colonies, but not circulated until counterstamped in 1793. Some pieces circulated in Louisiana after they were counterstamped. These coins also saw commercial usage later in East Coast states, probably during Large Cent shortages such as that caused by the War of 1812. The currently offered example is a desirable representative that is well struck on both the host coin and counterstamp, except for the left border of the beaded rim surrounding "RF" and the reverse center opposite the counterstamp. A lustrous and glossy golden-brown representative, essentially devoid of contact aside from the counterstamp. Slightly dished from the counterstamping. This is the only example certified as counterstamped Mint State by PCGS. Listed on page 32 of the 2004 Guide Book.(#158637)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AYM, PCGS# 158637, Greysheet# 32007)
