1779 French Colonies Stampee, Struck on a blank copper planchet. Vlack 375. Rarity-2. Very Fine, a type that is really impossible to grade since there was little to wear down, just the Crowned C countermark, and everything else blank, and on this planchet stock the countermark is usually quite sharp. Mottled medium brown and tan, some light roughness but no real damage. The supply of earlier Sous Marques were depleted by 1779, and in that year the Paris Mint began to strike the Crowned C mark onto blank planchets, as seen here.
