1738-B SOU MARQUE PCGS AU58 "ONE & ONLY" ABSOLUTE "FINEST" @ BOTH PCGS & NGC

Description

THE ONE AND ONLY 1738-B SPECIMEN TO BE GRADED AT BOTH PCGS & NGC
, AND  IT HAS HELD THAT PLACE SINCE IT WAS GRADED OVER 16 YEARS AGO !!.
WE ALMOST SCREAMED, JUMPED UP AND DOWN, AND HAD TO TAKE MUSCLE RELAXANTS TO GET OUR HEART RATES DOWN WHEN WE SPOTTED THIS SCREAMINGLY AMAZING 1738-B FRENCH SOU MARQUE. ( well we did maintain our composure, though the excitement was hard to contain).
WITH A SHAKING HAND WE WROTE THE CHECK THAT MADE OUR SIGNATURE LOOK LIKE WE WERE STILL IN PRE-SCHOOL OR MAYBE THE OLDEST NUMISMATISTS IN THE KNOWN WORLD AT 128 !!
WHEN THE PRICE WAS QUOTED WE DIDN'T FLINCH, JUST KEPT TRYING TO KEEP THE PEN ON THE CHECK. WE MADE THE DEAL AND HAD TO TAKE A MUCH DESERVED BREAK TO TAKE IT ALL IN.
THAT WAS A ROLLER COASTER RIDE OF NUMISMATIC WILD EMOTIONS UNSURPASSED FOR A MANY OF DAY !!
IT IMMEDIATELY DAWNED ON US, THAT IT DEAD ON, REMINDED US OF OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE HUBBLE TELESCOPE PHOTO OF THE M-17 OMEGA NEBULA, OF WHICH WE HAD AS OUR SCREEN BACKGROUND FOR MANY YEARS !!  THE RESEMBLANCE IS UTTERLY AMAZING !!
WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A COIN THAT EVOKED THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE THAT THIS ONE DID. THERE DOES SEEM TO BE A DEEP INNER IMMEDIATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GOD MADE AMAZING BEAUTY, RATHER ITS A SPACE NEBULA OR THE ORIGINAL TONING ON A 276 YEAR OLD COLONIAL FRENCH SOU MARQUE !!
THE AMAZING M17 OMEGA NEBULA
WE SOON DISCOVERED
THAT THIS PIECE IS ALSO THE:
ONE AND ONLY 1738-B SPECIMEN TO BE GRADED AT BOTH PCGS & NGC
, AND  IT HAS HELD THAT PLACE SINCE IT WAS GRADED OVER 16 YEARS AGO !!.
THIS IS UNDISPUTEDLY, THE ONLY GRADED, THE FINEST, & THE MOST GORGEOUS 1738-B TO BE FOUND IN THE UNIVERSE !!!!
BILLON COINAGE HAS RARELY BEEN SEEN TONED IN SUCH BEAUTIFUL BLUES. ITS ALLOY MAKEUP OF COPPER, TIN & A SMALL PART SILVER, DOES NOT LEND ITSELF TO PRODUCING AWE INSPIRING TONING. THIS PIECE HOWEVER, BROKE THE BILLON UNIVERSE WIDE OPEN !!!
WE HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A MORE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS SOU MARQUE IN ALL OUR NUMIMATIC WANDERINGS !!
AN PCGS AU58 COLLECTOR SWEET SPOT GRADE:
WE ASSUME THIS MEANS, THAT IT SEEN "EVER SO GENTLE" COMMERCE IN THE COLONIES.
PROBABLY HANDLED BY ONE OF THOSE NOTORIOUS REVOLUTIONARY COLONISTS THAT DID NOT LOOK KINDLY ON THE USURPATIONS OF KING GEORGE AND HIS LOBSTER BACKS.
THIS SECRETIVE PATRIOT MOST LIKELY USED IT TO PURCHASE A SPY GLASS TO KEEP A WARY SINGLE EYE ON THOSE ENGLISH PROTAGONISTS, AND THEN REPORT THEIR CLANDESTINE DOINGS PROMPTLY TO A YOUNG SAM ADAMS.
AS A SIDE NOTE IN HISTORY, LET IT BE KNOWN; THE UN-NAMED FELLOW PATRIOT WHICH SOLD THE SPY GLASS TOOK NOTE OF THE HISTORIC CIRUMSTANCES WHICH SURROUNDED HIM, AND FOR POSTERITY SAKE, MADE A QUICK  (NUMISMATICALLY ASTUTE) DESCISION, AND QUICKLY SECRETED AWAY
THE 1738-B SOU MARQUE
AS A SINGLE REMINDER OF THIS MOMENTS INTRIGUE IN COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND- THE END.
MANY MORE REALLY COOL &  HISTORIC NUMISMATIC PIECES ARE JUST A CLICK AWAY........
