- 1720-BB Liard au buste enfantin. John Law Issue. Strasbourg Mint. Gadoury-270, Hodder-1. AU-55 BN (NGC). 49.9 grains. Warm gray-brown patina radiates out from the centers, the peripheries with pale pink and faded red highlights. Struck when John Law's Company of the Indies, which ran the Mississippi Colonization Scheme, had control over the French mints and operated them for its own profit. Examples of this type are discussed on pages 46-50 in William T. Anton, Jr. and Bruce Kesse's reference Forgotten Coins of the North American Colonies. Provenance: From our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII, January 2006, lot 309. Click here for certification details from NGC.
