A - Paris Mint - 1752-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 32. Rarity-8. Choice About Uncirculated, somewhat weakly struck but on a planchet which retains nearly full, vibrant original silvering showing the true grade. The legends are full, save the T of ET on the reverse which is partially visible; the date and reverse different weaker but visible as they are struck in the area of a small planchet edge crack. A few light striae on either side. As mentioned, the surfaces are nearly full original silver, with very light rub on the high points of either side, the color quite choice. In cataloguing the Ford specimen, Michael Hodder noted that this is “one of the rarest of all the Paris Mint dates of this denomination.” That piece was graded VF, but was probably a full EF, with heavy reverse striations and brought $1,610 in spirited bidding.
