1746-A [Paris Mint] Half Sous Marques. Vlack 296. Rarity-6. Nearly Very Fine, likely of that grade level, the obverse die failing at the top, with the final digit of the date weaker but visible, and the rest of the legends sharp on either side. Strong design detail. Light lilac toning over medium gray surfaces that have a fair amount of original silvering on either side. No unexpected marks or damage, and quite pleasing for this unexpected late-date issue, and one that Ford wasn’t able to find. Vlack’s was called VF but a bit nicer than that. Paris and Strasbourg were the only mints to strike Half Sous in this year.
