P - Dijon Mint - 1744-P Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 168a. Rarity-7. Very Fine overall, the legends weak at SIT and LUD at the upper right of either side, the rest sharp; the very bottom of the mintmark off the planchet as centered. An attractive example of this final year of issue for the Dijon mint. The obverse has much original silvering atop the surfaces, the reverse less so, the unsilvered areas toned a medium gray. The surfaces mostly hard to the eye, with the usual light graininess visible with a glass. This subvariety without a stop after the anchor on the reverse is quite rare; the Vlack coin was a sharper EF, and the variety (and date) was missing completely from the Ford collection.
