1740-B [Rouen Mint] Billon Half Sous Marques. Vlack 298. Rarity-3. Very Fine, the obverse high in that grade level. Well struck, the legends full, the date and mintmark sharp. Dark rose with ample silvering at the lower obverse and around some of the reverse legends. There is a small planchet flaw in the obverse field below the N of NOM, and a few microscopic ones on either side, the surfaces with a lightly grainy look under a glass but pleasing enough to the eye. This is the only year that the Rouen mint struck the Half Sous Marques. From the Ted Craige collection, accompanied by his original envelope.
