BB – Strasbourg Mint - 1741/38-BB Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 252a. Rarity-6. Choice Extremely Fine, a lovely, boldly struck example, everything razor sharp, as expected for the grade. The overdate is easily visible with the naked eye, the 3 under the 4 clear, and the 8 under the original 1 so bold it makes that last digit look almost like a backwards B! No effort was made by the engraver at all to grind down the original date, and while some overdates in the serious are quite subtle, the ones like this that are obvious are quite charming. Struck from a late die state with a notable cud under the rowel different and first digit of the date, this not seen on the Vlack example. Medium light green gold hue, the surfaces hard, with a few trivial spots and some light reverse striae, but quite an attractive coin in every respect.
