W – Lille Mint - 1746-W Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 207. Rarity-6. Extremely Fine. This is the John Ford specimen, and appeared as Lot 238 in the Stack’s January, 2008 sale of his collection where it was described as “Extremely Fine. Pale gray and light rose gold on both sides.” The catalogue described the surfaces as granular, though in reality they are quite hard, with just some light striae on either side, and the silvering full. The legends are full, the tops of EX of REX just a tad weaker, but all visible, and the date and mintmark both bold. A coin with a nice provenance, accompanied by the original lot ticket from the Ford sale, one of the finest collections ever formed.
