1719-AA [Metz Mint] John Law Half Sol. Nearly Very Fine, the same general type of strike as the above coin, somewhat flat at the center and with a few reverse letters weaker than their neighbors, but all visible. Very dark brown, some patina around the devices, some light green corrosion and a few reverse scratches that are toned down. Slightly TRIPLE struck, most noticeable in the letters and the date on the reverse, quite unusual for the series. This is an UNLISTED type in the series, with the engraver’s mark directly beneath the bust and not at the end of the legend; Smith did not know of this type in his census, assuring it is quite rare – both as a date and as a major variety.
