A - Paris Mint - 1749-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 29a. Rarity-5. Very Fine, the obverse high in that grade level, the reverse a bit weaker at the center due to die failure. The legends are full on either side, a few stray letters very weak, but visible, the date bold, the mintmark weaker but there. Medium gold with a bit of original silvering visible at the lower obverse, the surfaces hard overall. The reverse shows some light hairline scratches under a glass, these are toned down to the surface color and easy to miss. A second semester issue, with the dot under D visible on the reverse. Not bad at all for this variety – the Vlack coin was similarly weak on the reverse, and there was no 1749-A issue in the Ford collection of any variety. The present piece is from the collection of Ted Craige, and comes with his annotated envelope.
