1782-A Cayenne Two Sous, struck over a Sous Marques. Vlack 385. Rarity-7. Choice Very Fine. This is the Vlack PLATE COIN for the variety, and appeared as Lot 5441 in the Stack’s January, 2008 sale of his collection. This is struck over a 1740 Sous Marques, the date of the undertype rather bold at the top obverse, though the mintmark is obscured by the overstrike. Lovely light olive brown, the surfaces hard, the Cayenne overstrike slightly off-center to the right, but with all the legends on the planchet still. A very pleasing example, much nicer than overstrike are found – and with the added bonus of a great provenance and use as a plate coin in the standard reference! Accompanied by the lot ticket from the Vlack sale, as well as his original envelope.
