1740-A [Paris Mint] Billon Half Sous Marques. Vlack 295. Rarity-3. Choice Very Fine, the obverse nearly full EF quality. Rather bold, the legends full on either side, the letters bold save for the tops of G FR on the reverse which are weaker; very sharp design detail. Light pewter, the surfaces with ample original silvering remaining, more so on the obverse. Both sides with a couple spots of darker color, but no real damage or defect from circulation. While not rare as a variety, it is tough to find in pleasing condition. The Vlack coin was called F/VF though was a full EF, as was the Ford coin.
