A - Paris Mint - 1741-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 20. Rarity-1. Very Fine, the peripheries sharper than that, the centers weaker. Full legends, a few letters weak but readable, the date and mintmark strong. Light golden toning over silver surfaces, a few marks from circulation but nothing unexpected for the grade. While only rated an R-1, the variety is difficult to find nice – Vlack notes that “a small hoard has been examined making this a common variety. In this hoard most specimens were very worn and thin and all lacked any silvering.” The present example is clearly not from that source.
