FRENCH COLONIES. 1767-A (1793) Sou. Paris Mint. Breen-701. RF Counterstamp.

FRENCH COLONIES. 1767-A (1793) Sou. Paris Mint. Breen-701. RF Counterstamp. AU-58 (PCGS). 187.8 grains. This is John Ford's Breen-701 1767-A sou, the equally PQ counterpart to his Breen-700 example that is also being reoffered in this sale as part of the Emerald Coast Collection. The Breen-701 attribution refers to those examples counterstamped RF for République Française in 1793, following the French Revolution. This lovely piece exhibits rich medium brown patina to both sides. About perfectly centered punch on the obverse, and the letters in RF are complete and bold. This punch is often found placed off center, light on one side or the other, and with incomplete RF letters. This one is exceptionally nice, soft frosty texture overall, and will nicely represent the type in another advanced collection. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier ex Maison Florange, May 31, 1967; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII, January 2006, lot 28; Heritage's sale of the Troy Wiseman Collection, Part II, January 2007 FUN Signature Auction, lot 89. PCGS# 158637. NGC ID: 2AYM.
