AA – Metz Mint - 1738-AA Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 236. Rarity-7. Nearly Very Fine, a bit weak at the extreme left of either side, ICT of BENEDICTUM and AV of NAV weak or gone, the rest of the legends sharp, as are the date and mintmark. Light gray, most of the silvering remaining, a few darker spots of toning on either side, but overall quite pleasing. While this mint turned out respectable numbers, Vlack noted that “they are surprisingly difficult to obtain,” with a single variety each given Rarity-3, Rarity-5 and Rarity-6, the rest all rated as Rarity-7 or 8. This example was purchased as a new variety not listed in the Vlack book, but our eyes do not see it, and it is being offered as the Vlack 236 type which we consider it to be. None of this variety (or year) in Ford.
