A - Paris Mint - 1763-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 47b, another. Rarity-4 for the variety, Rarity-7 as a DOUBLE STRUCK specimen. About Uncirculated, a charming specimen, struck once slightly off-center, then put back in the dies and struck again with proper placement. The original strike is strongly visible on the reverse, to the right and higher than the second strike, most notable at the lowest fleur-de-lys and the different below. This double striking garbles some of the reverse legends, and weakens those at the lower right obverse. Light rose color, toned down from the original silvering which is abundant everywhere save the extreme right reverse. No marks from circulation, and a coin that likely didn’t actually get used in commerce given the amount of silvering, suggesting it was saved as something unusual by a contemporary collector. Double struck Sous Marques are quite rare, especially as obvious as the present specimen.
