<B>1767-A<9DEN> French Colonies Copper Sou, RF Counterstamp MS62 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Breen-701. This issue was minted for the French Caribbean colonies, but not circulated until counterstamped in 1793. Some pieces circulated in Louisiana after they were counterstamped. These coins also saw commercial usage later in East Coast states, probably during Large Cent shortages such as that caused by the War of 1812. The currently offered example is a desirable representative that is well struck on both the host coin and counterstamp, except for the left border of the beaded rim surrounding "RF" and the reverse center opposite the counterstamp. A lustrous and glossy golden-brown representative, essentially devoid of contact aside from the counterstamp. Slightly dished from the counterstamping. This is the only example certified as counterstamped Mint State by PCGS. Listed on page 32 of the 2004 <I>Guide Book.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
