O – Riom Mint - 1739-O Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 145e. Rarity-5. This is one of the two John Ford collection specimens, and we thought it the nicer of the two. It appeared as Lot 206 of the Stack’s January, 2006 sale of his collection where it was described as “Very Fine. Medium gray on both sides. Struck on a flan which is somewhat out of round. Minor surface granularity.” Ford purchased the coin in 1973, making it one of the earliest provenances for a French Colonies coin in his collection. Sharp for the grade, the legends and date all bold. This coin is accompanied by the original lot ticket from the Ford sale.
