- 1740-& Sou Marque. Aix Mint. Vlack-233. Rarity-8. VF-20 (PCGS). 28.6 grains. Extremely rare both as a date and as an example of the very elusive Aix Mint. Most collectors have never seen a sou marque from this mint, which was not even represented in a cabinet as impressive as that of John J. Ford, Jr. This piece is mostly olive-gray with a touch of pale silvering in the center of the obverse. A short planchet crack is noted at 8 o'clock relative to the obverse. No Aix Mint issue in this series is really collectable, only one variant of 1739 nearly approaches that status, the other years (1738, 1740, 1741, 1743) are extremely rare. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the Robert A. Vlack Collection, January 2008 Americana Sale, lot 5189.
