A - Paris Mint - 1749/8-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 29b. Rarity-7. Nearly Very Fine, a well-struck example, with just a single letter weak on either side, the final one on the obverse and the T of ET on the reverse, the date sharp, clearly showing the long diebreak through it, an easy match to the enlarged photograph in the Vlack book. Very light pewter color, with ample original silvering around the legends and devices, the surfaces mostly hard, with some reverse striations that were in the planchet before the coin was struck. The Vlack coin was marginally sharper on the reverse, but was heavily scratched, and there was no example of this overdate (or date) in the Ford sale. A pleasing example of a very rare variety.
