Somewhat rough in the centers. 134 1743-A. V.22. Rarity-8 CH EF $3,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Most unusual in being the first semester issue of the date and not the usually seen second semester hoard coin. Nice, bright silver obverse, silver and gray reverse. Some striations visible at the lower right on the obverse, through the center of the reverse. 135 1746/5-A. V.25c. Rarity-8 CH EF $2,200.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Light silver gray and rose. Reverse a little flawed, obverse somewhat soft around the lower left and right at the periphery. 136 1748-A. V.28. Rarity-8 F $1,300.00 Fine. This is one of the two or three rarest dates of the denomination from the Paris Mint (1752, 1753, and maybe 1759 are the others). Medium gray in color on both sides. Surfaces a little rough in places, particularly on the reverse. 137 1751-A. V.31. Rarity-6. Choice About Uncirculated CH AU $1,400.00 Nice, attractive bright silver gray and gold. Obverse quite rough in places, particularly the lower right periphery. Reverse soft in places, rough at the upper right. 138 1751-A. V.31. Rarity-6 AU $450.00 A second. About Uncirculated. Pale silver gray on both sides. Surfaces a little striated on the obverse. Both sides a little off center to the left. 139 1751-A. V.31. Rarity-6 EF $300.00 A third. Extremely Fine. Pale gray and gold. Somewhat granular. Reverse soft at lower left. 140 1752-A. V.32. Rarity-8 VF $1,400.00 Very Fine. One of the rarest of all Paris Mint dates of this denomination. Dark gray on both sides. Reverse fairly heavily striated diagonally across. 141 1754-A. V.34. Rarity-7 CH EF $450.00 Choice Extremely Fine. First semester. Stop after LUD does not show. Decent, bright silver gray in color. Minor granularity on the obverse, some flaws on the reverse. 142 1754-A. V.34. Rarity-7 CH EF $350.00 A second. Choice Extremely Fine. First semester. Nice, bright silver gray and pale gold-green in color. Both surfaces granular, reverse a little flawed. 143 1754-A. V.34. Rarity-7 EF $300.00 A third. Extremely Fine. First Semester. Attractive, bright silver gray and pale rose on both sides. Surfaces rough in places, particularly around the peripheries. 144 1754-A. V.34a EF $250.00 Extremely Fine. Second semester. Dark gray and gold. Somewhat soft and mushy strike, particularly around the peripheries. 145 1754-A. V.34a VF $250.00 Very Fine. Dark gray most everywhere save for a few patches lighter, particularly on the back. Fairly typical surfaces for one of these from the Paris Mint. If there ever was a stop before SIT it is gone now due to shift double striking on the obverse. That said, there is a slim chance this might have been a V.34d (Rarity-8). See the next lot for one. 146 1754-A. V.34d. Rarity-8. Choice About Uncirculated CH AU $2,400.00 Second semester. No stop before SIT. Nice, pale silver gray on both sides, darker in the left obverse field. Softly struck around the peripheries, lightly striated there. 147 1755-A. V.35a. Uncirculated UNC $150.00 Nice, pale blue-gray in color. Obverse and reverse surfaces quite granular. Ghost outlines under magnification identify this as a flipover double strike. 148 1755-A. V.35a CH EF $200.00 A second. Choice Extremely Fine. Pale gray on both sides, some bands darker. Lightly granular. 149 1755-A. V.35b. Rarity-7 CH EF $800.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Second semester. No stop after XV. Light gray and pale gold. Obverse quite granular. 150 1755/4-A. V.35c. Rarity-7 CH EF $450.00 Choice Extremely Fine. First semester. Pale gray and gold.

Vlack noted of this variety ''None reported.'' Light gray and gold. Obverse quite heavily striated and a patch of corrosion on the right rim. 156 1758-A. V.39a. Rarity-8.

Attractive, sharply struck pale gray and light brown. Surfaces barely microgranular, a very representative example of the type, made more interesting by its rarity status. 158 1759-A. V.40b. Rarity-8 F $1,200.00 Fine. No stop after heron. Mintmark obscure, the piece attributed by its différents. Light gray and brown obverse, mostly gray-brown reverse. Obverse striated. 159 1760/58-A. V.44a. Rarity-7 CH EF $750.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Second semester. Pale gray. Surfaces quite granular. Reverse lightly marked. 160 1760-A Uncertain overdate. V.44e (unlisted in Vlack). Rarity-8? EF $1,200.00 Extremely Fine. Second semester. Looks like 1760/59. Pale gray and rose on both sides. Surfaces just lightly granular. Somewhat dished on the reverse. 161 1761-A. V.45 AU $400.00 Technically About Uncirculated. Bright blue-gray with some remaining lustre visible on the obverse.
