S- Reims Mint - 1739-S Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 180. Rarity-6. Very Fine overall, a few letters weak on either side, the remainder of the legends mostly strong, as are the date and mintmark, the central design details bold. Light silver obverse, the reverse toned a darker shade, most of the original silvering remaining. The surfaces are lightly rough, as seems to be the case for the early issues from this mint – the Ford coin showed pretty much the same roughness. The Vlack coin was one of the lowest graded pieces in his entire collection, a rough About Good – a telling comment on how difficult the variety is to find in nice condition, despite not being an extreme rarity.
