1767-A French Colonies Copper Sou. Vlack 14-E, another, but struck on a planchet with a PLAIN EDGE, quite rare as such. Nearly Very Fine, the obverse legend weak at SIT, the reverse weak at the last two letters of each line, the rest of the lettering and date strong. Deep golden brown, both sides a bit spotty with darker toning and a touch of verdigris. The 1767 Sous were struck with an engrailed edge as an anti-counterfeiting measure; we have seen a couple contemporary cast counterfeits in brass that lacked the edge, but have only seen a couple genuine struck coins missing this important feature, as here. An exceedingly rare error, and an important piece for the specialist.
